Dividend Growth Screener —Undervalued Dividend Stocks

Most dividend screeners filter by yield alone. Equity Rank applies 19+ valuation methods before surfacing dividend payers — so the list starts from businesses the model considers attractively valued, not just high-yielding names.

19+ valuation methods

DCF, Graham Number, EPV, P/E, EV/EBITDA, and more — consensus model fair value vs current price across every method, not a single estimate.

Margin of safety filter

Only stocks where model fair value exceeds current price pass the equity filter — the core principle of dividend growth investing. High yield alone does not qualify.

Yield trap defense

A high yield can signal a cut risk, not an opportunity. The undervaluation filter screens out businesses paying from a deteriorating base — the market prices those in before the cut comes.

How the dividend growth filter works

Step 01

Apply yield floor (≥1.5%)

The screen requires a trailing dividend yield at or above 1.5%. This removes pure growth names with no income and focuses on stocks generating meaningful yield at current prices.

Step 02

Require positive margin of safety

Model fair value — computed across 19+ valuation methods — must exceed the current market price. Only stocks where the model considers the business attractively valued pass this filter.

Step 03

Rank by Equity Rank Score

Qualifying stocks are ranked by the Equity Rank Score (0–100), a composite of model confidence across all valuation methods. Higher scores correspond to stronger undervaluation signals across more methods.

Note: this is not a "dividend aristocrats" filter. The model does not require decades of consecutive increases. It cares about current undervaluation relative to intrinsic value and a qualifying yield — not streak length alone.

The yield trap problem — and how the model addresses it

A stock yielding 10% sounds attractive. But in many cases, a 10% yield means the market has already priced in a 60–80% probability that the dividend will be cut. The stock price has collapsed, inflating the yield figure — and the cut confirmation then pushes the price lower still.

The margin-of-safety filter works against this pattern. A business whose earnings and cash flow are deteriorating typically does not pass an undervaluation screen — the model assigns a low fair value relative to price, and the stock fails the positive MoS requirement. This does not catch every yield trap, and model assumptions can be wrong. But it reduces the set of candidates to businesses the model considers fundamentally sound at current prices.

Model framing only. Equity Rank is not an investment adviser. This is not advice.

Frequently asked questions

What is a dividend growth stock?+
A dividend growth stock is a share in a company that pays a regular dividend and has a history of maintaining or increasing that dividend over time. Equity Rank's dividend growth filter does not require 25+ consecutive years of increases — it focuses on current undervaluation relative to intrinsic value and a yield at or above 1.5%. The model surfaces businesses that appear attractively valued today and generate a yield; it is not a streak-length filter.
How does the margin of safety filter work?+
The model computes a consensus fair value using 19+ valuation methods — DCF, Graham Number, EPV, P/E relative value, EV/EBITDA, PEG, DDM, and more. Margin of safety (MoS %) is the difference between that model fair value and the current market price, expressed as a percentage of fair value. Only stocks where the model fair value exceeds the current price pass the filter. A higher MoS % corresponds to a wider gap between model estimate and current price under these assumptions — it does not guarantee a positive outcome.
What is a yield trap?+
A yield trap is a high-yielding stock whose elevated yield reflects the market pricing in a likely dividend cut rather than a genuine income opportunity. When a dividend is perceived as unsustainable, the stock price often falls sharply, inflating the apparent yield before the cut is announced. The margin-of-safety filter helps reduce exposure to the most obvious yield traps by requiring the business to look attractively valued across multiple methods — a stock priced as if its fundamentals are deteriorating tends not to pass an undervaluation screen. This is a model-based filter, not a guarantee.
How often is data updated?+
Equity Rank scores and screener results refresh nightly after market close. Fundamental data (earnings, dividends, balance sheet) updates when new quarterly or annual filings become available. The preview on this page reflects the most recent nightly scoring run.
What is the Equity Rank Score?+
The Equity Rank Score is a composite 0–100 ranking derived from 19+ valuation methods. A higher score corresponds to a wider positive margin of safety in the model — the stock appears more attractively valued relative to its intrinsic value estimate across more methods. It is a research ranking tool, not a recommendation to take any action.
