Our analysis starts with the Smart Score, which is a proprietary quantitative stock scoring system created by TipRanks
Smart Score. We then run the best stocks through TipRanks’
unique dividend selection machine.
The recommended stocks will be chosen according to a strict set of criteria, including macro & sector outlook, past performance versus peers, a high but sustainable dividend yield, a healthy payout ratio, a history of stable and growing dividends, and, of course, various metrics of the companies’ financial health as well as their competitive position and business outlook. We also factor the stocks’ relative valuation into our analysis, as competitively priced stocks often have more room for upside, increasing the total return in the long haul.
