Dividend 50
50 durable income stocks with meaningful yields, covered dividends, and predictable businesses. This is the income-investor home: cheques that compound, not yield traps. V1 is a quality-income proxy — when we add dividend-streak data, it tightens to true Aristocrats (25+ years of consecutive dividend increases). Until then, the methodology page is explicit about what the screen actually measures.
Selection Criteria
- Market cap ≥ $10B — established businesses only
- Dividend yield ≥ 1.5% — must actually be paying income
- Dividend yield ≤ 10% — reject obvious yield traps
- Positive TTM earnings — can't sustain a dividend without them
- Ranked 100-pt score: Yield Quality 25 · Size 20 · Payout Coverage 15 · Valuation 15 · Stability 15 · Sector 10
Who This List Is For

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these actual Dividend Aristocrats?
Not strictly — the official S&P Aristocrats index requires 25+ consecutive years of dividend increases, which we can't verify from our data yet. This list is a quality-income proxy: stocks with meaningful, covered yields in durable sectors. V2 will tighten the gate when dividend-streak data is available.
Why is there a 10% yield ceiling?
Double-digit yields almost always signal distress — the market is pricing in a dividend cut. We'd rather surface genuinely durable 3–6% yielders than surface a 14% trap that cuts by 50% next quarter.
Does this include REITs?
REITs with a 1.5%+ yield that pass the rest of the gates will show up. They're often legitimate income plays. The anti-trap logic catches the worst offenders.
Why do some Big Tech names with dividends not appear?
Most Big Tech dividends are token (< 1.5%). They fail the yield floor. Apple and Microsoft pay dividends, but the yield is so small that a dividend-focused screen correctly passes on them — they show up on Buffett Quality instead.
