        A dividend stock refers to a company that is known to regularly reward their shareholders with a fraction of their profits on a monthly, quarterly, semi-annually or sometimes even a yearly basis.

        Dividend paying companies provide a steady stream of income to shareholders, and many still offer the potential for stock price appreciation. Stability and income generation has always remained a top priority for many investors.

        Given ongoing economic uncertainty, investors hunt for dividend-paying stocks that are undervalued, as only companies that have quality fundamentals and a robust foundation have the financial stability to maintain their dividends during questionable economic periods.

        Another great aspect of adding dividend stocks to one’s portfolio is the ability to reinvest any dividends paid out by a company, using them to buy more shares (sometimes called ‘DRIP’), and taking advantage of compounding returns.

        How to Find The Best Dividend Stocks

        To start, we focused only on those U.S. stocks that have a market capitalization exceeding $1 billion as well as a significant market share, while presenting stable financial conditions for continuing the growth of their dividend payouts regardless of ongoing macro conditions.

        In order to guarantee that we are not buying stocks that are already extremely expensive, a fair value assessment filter was added in the InvestingPro screener, which shows only those stocks that have growth potential going forward, thereby avoiding risks of a sudden, big drop in share price.

        Further, a filter for dividend compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5 years has also been incorporated in our stock screening criteria, which curates a list of only those companies that are consistently growing their payout ratios at 10% or more. 

        Here are the steps to finding top U.S.-based dividend stocks easily using Investing Pro:

        • Click on the Screener tool.
        • Select ‘Dividend Yield’ as a filter parameter on the Screener page, and set the threshold value to greater than 3%.
        • Add a P/E Ratio filter and set the range between 0 and 30x.
        • Add a further four metrics: Market Cap, Shareholder Yield, Fair Value Upside and Dividend CAGR (5y), setting their range to desired values. You can also follow our stock selection metrics as shown in the screenshot below.
        • For U.S.-centric stocks, select ‘United States’ under the ‘Trading Region’ tab drop-down, and make sure to check (select) the ‘Primary Trading Item’ option.
        • You can then see the list of all the companies falling in the desired screener filters’ range arranged in a descending order.
