December, 2019 -- DividendRank Report



History has shown that the bulk of the stock market's returns are delivered by dividends. Only consistently profitable companies can afford to keep paying dividends, so profitability is of critical importance. And investors shouldn't pay too expensive a price to buy a stock, even if the company itself is strong. So therefore, dividend investors should be most interested in researching the strongest most profitable companies, that also happen to be trading at an attractive valuation.

Each month, Dividend Channel screens through our coverage universe of dividend paying stocks, to look at a variety of data -- dividend history & yield, book value, quarterly earnings -- and compare it to the stock's trading data to come up with certain calculations about profitability and about the stock's valuation (whether we think it looks ''cheap'' or ''expensive''). Our proprietary DividendRank formula ranks stocks within the following 18 sectors/categories, to identify the top most ''interesting'' ideas that merit further research.
