Which 10 stocks are paying 7% dividends

Screening Filters

1. region = United States

   • Purpose: Limit the search to companies listed in the U.S. market.
   • Rationale: You explicitly asked for US stocks, so restricting the region to the United States ensures we only consider U.S.-domiciled or U.S.-listed companies.

2. list_exchange = [XNYS, XNAS, XASE] (NYSE, NASDAQ, NYSE American)

   • Purpose: Focus on the main U.S. stock exchanges.
   • Rationale: Most U.S. companies investors look for trade on these three exchanges. This avoids obscure OTC/pink sheet names, which often have unreliable dividends or liquidity, and keeps the list to more established U.S.-listed stocks that match what most people mean by “US stocks.”

3. dividend_yield_ttm.min = 7

   • Purpose: Find stocks with a trailing 12‑month dividend yield of at least 7%.
   • Rationale: You requested stocks “currently paying a 7% dividend yield.” In data terms, the closest and most standard metric is trailing 12‑month dividend yield (TTM).
     • Using a minimum of 7% captures all stocks yielding 7% or higher, since many investors asking for “7%” are typically interested in around that level or above.
     • Requiring an exact 7.00% is not practical, because yields move constantly with price changes and only rarely sit exactly at one number.

Why Results Match:

• The region and exchange filters ensure we are only looking at mainstream U.S. stocks, consistent with your request.
• The dividend_yield_ttm ≥ 7% filter directly targets companies that are currently paying high dividends at or above the 7% level.
• While we cannot filter for an exact 7.0% yield, using a 7% minimum is the most effective way to reflect your goal of finding U.S. stocks paying around a 7% yield.
• From the resulting set, we can then select 10 names that meet these criteria.
