How Do You Create A List Of Dividend Paying Stocks?
People looking for a list of dividend paying stocks often turn to stock experts or subscription services for suggestions. However, both of these resources charge fees for a service that you can get for free on your own. Follow the steps below to create your own list of dividend paying stocks. Step 1 Use a filter to create a rough list of dividend paying stocks. To create a filter, open the Google Finance site (see the Resources section below for the link). Once you are at Google Finance, click on the Stock Screener link on the left of the screen, then simply adjust the slider labeled “Div Yield” to your desired dividend percentage. Then scroll down to see your preliminary list of dividend paying stocks that meat your criteria. Step 2 Copy the entire list of stocks into a word document, and then skim the list, removing any stocks that do not interest you. For example, if you are opposed to investing in companies that operate copper mines, delete those companies from your word document.
