Worked Example: Screening for Dividend Growth Stocks

Here’s a sample screen to find quality dividend growth stocks:

  1. Dividend yield: 2.0% or higher
  2. Consecutive years of dividend growth: 10 or more
  3. Payout ratio: under 60% (sustainable)
  4. Morningstar moat: Wide (competitive advantage)
  5. Market cap: Over $10 billion (large-cap stability)
  6. Analyst consensus: Buy or Strong Buy

This type of screen typically returns 20–50 results, which you can then sort by yield, P/E, or five-year return to narrow further.
