S&P 500 (SPY)

-0.2%

Difference

+2.6%

Equal-weighted across the 111 stocks this screen matched when it was published, in USD, price return only. All 111 are priced today.

What it screens for

  • Dividend yield: Over 3%
  • Payout ratio: Under 75%
Run it on today's market →

What it matches today may differ from the 111 stocks above. That difference is the point of running it.

What it finds

Companies yielding over 3% that are paying out less than three quarters of what they earn, so the dividend has room to survive a bad year.

How it works

Yield above 3% for the income, payout ratio below 75% for the durability. The second filter is doing the real work. A yield is only a fact about the price; the payout ratio is a fact about whether the company can keep paying it.

How to use it

This is a starting list for income, not a ranking of it. The highest yields on the list are the ones most worth being suspicious about, because a rising yield is usually a falling price.

What's different about it

Compare this against the High dividend screen published alongside it, which applies no coverage test at all. The two lists are measured on the same terms, so over time the difference between their records is a direct read on whether the coverage test is worth applying.

Limitations

Payout ratio is computed from reported earnings, which for real estate trusts and many funds is the wrong denominator entirely, so those are mispriced by this screen rather than excluded from it. A company that has just cut its dividend still shows its old trailing yield until the data catches up.

The basket, line by line

Every one of the 111 stocks it matched on 21 Sept 2026, with its own return since, in USD. These average to the figure above. A stock that no longer quotes stays on the list, at the bottom, rather than disappearing from the record.
