The 6-Factor Dividend Scoring System

Every dividend stock in the Dividend Strategy Builder receives a comprehensive score from 1-100. Our proprietary scoring system evaluates six critical factors that determine dividend quality and sustainability:

Scoring Factor Breakdown

Dividend Yield (25%)

The annual dividend payment as a percentage of the stock price. Higher yields provide more immediate income, but we balance this against sustainability factors.

Payout Ratio (20%)

The percentage of earnings paid out as dividends. Lower ratios indicate the company retains earnings for growth and has a buffer during tough times.

Growth Rate (20%)

Historical dividend growth rate over the past 3-5 years. Companies that consistently increase dividends often outperform over the long term.

💰 Valuation (15%)

Whether the stock is fairly valued based on P/E ratio, P/B ratio, and other valuation metrics. Better valuations provide more upside potential.

🛡️ Stability (10%)

Measures the consistency of dividend payments and the company's financial stability. Includes debt levels, cash flow consistency, and dividend payment history.

⏰ Timing (10%)

How soon the next dividend payment is due. Stocks with upcoming dividend payments score higher for investors seeking immediate income.
