A high dividend yield without strong financials can be a red flag, potentially indicating a company in distress or a dividend that is likely to be cut. This screen seeks to provide a shortlist of companies that offer an attractive yield and demonstrate the financial health to maintain their payouts.

Questions worth resolving before acting on the screen
What defines a high-yield dividend stock?
Stocks that offer a dividend yield significantly above the average of the S&P 500.
Why is payout ratio important?
It indicates the sustainability of the dividend. A high payout ratio may signal that the company is paying out too much of its earnings, which could lead to a dividend cut if earnings decline.
How often should I review dividend stocks?
Regularly, especially payout ratios, as company performance and market conditions change.
Are high-yield dividend stocks riskier?
Potentially, as high yields can sometimes indicate underlying financial problems or unsustainable payouts. Due diligence is essential.
