Methodology

–Growing revenues: Growth in revenues is necessary to keep any a business a float. It’s even more important for businesses that are expected to pay dividends;

–Low Price/Cash Flow: This ratio is the relationship between the price and the cash available per share. A low ratio indicates the company has enough cash flow to justify its current prices. A ratio below 15 is considered low.

–High dividend yield;

–Low Debt to Equity ratio: This ratio is a measure of how much debt the company contracted versus its own equity. Viable dividend stocks should always have a low level of debt.

–High interest coverage: This ratio measures how much a company is paying to service its debt versus its earnings. A business that spends most of its earnings on paying interests in loans is not a good choice for dividend investors.

–Low Dividend Payout Ratio: This ratio is the relationship between dividends and earnings. Companies that offer safe dividends usually have a low ratio.
