It's been a tough summer for investors, with market turmoil and bad news dragging nearly everyone down. For many investors, the easy solution to these challenges lies in steady dividend-paying stocks. It makes sense to look at more than a few quick numbers, to better find the companies that can outlast a full-court press. A dividend is only as good as the company behind it.
I started my screen with a $500 million market cap floor, and looked for a minimum yield of 2.5%. To make the cut, companies also needed at least 5% revenue growth over the last three years, and at least 5% insider ownership. Limiting this screen to stocks at least 25% below their 12-month high -- the Dow is actually up over this period, though you wouldn't know it from pundits' howling.
