Stock Picks – High Dividend Stock Screen: 10-9-2015

Stock Dividends

Just one stock made the screen this week:

Name Ticker Price Fair Value Margin of Safety Yield % MOS %
Waddell & Reed Financial, Inc. WDR $34.67 $46.00 $11.33 4.91 24.63%

Here are the screen inputs:

  • High Dividend Stock Screen:
  1. Morningstar analysis available.
  2. Dividend Yield % > = 4.
  3. Dividend Growth % Past 5 Years > = 10.
  4. Payout Ratio Trailing 12 Months < 75
  5. Morningstar rating 4 or more stars.
  6. Financial Health Grade >= B.
  7. Stock Industry not = Asset Management
  8. Forward P/E <= 20.

Compelling dividend – not a very compelling company.  Waddell & Reed basically only manage two large Mutual Funds, Ivy Asset Strategy and Ivy High Income.  Morningstar has a Neutral rating on both.

z - even even smaller
