Screening Filters & Rationale
market_cap ≥ $5,000,000,000:
- Purpose: Focus on larger, more established companies that are generally more stable and less prone to extreme volatility.
- Rationale: Large-cap firms are more likely to sustain dividend payments over time and have stronger balance sheets to support high yields.
dividend_yield_ttm ≥ 5%:
- Purpose: Target stocks that provide relatively high current income compared to the broader market.
- Rationale: A 5%+ trailing yield typically indicates a meaningful income stream, aligning with a high-dividend strategy while filtering out low-yield payers.
weekly_average_turnover ≥ 1,000,000 (shares or $):
- Purpose: Ensure sufficient liquidity so positions can be entered and exited without excessive price impact or wide bid-ask spreads.
- Rationale: Higher trading activity reduces transaction costs and improves practicality for real-world investing, especially for larger order sizes.
dividend_payout_ratio ≤ 100%:
- Purpose: Avoid companies paying out more in dividends than they earn, which is often unsustainable.
- Rationale: A payout ratio at or below 100% suggests the dividend is at least nominally covered by earnings, lowering the risk of imminent cuts.
dividend_5yr_cagr ≥ 2%:
- Purpose: Select companies that have a track record of growing their dividends, not just maintaining a high yield today.
- Rationale: Positive 5-year dividend growth indicates management’s commitment to returning cash to shareholders and helps protect income from inflation.
