Dividend.com
dividend.com
Dividend research site built around its DARS stock ratings, with a screener, ex-dividend date search, sample income portfolios and a Premium plan.
What it is
Dividend.com is aimed at income investors choosing dividend stocks, ETFs and funds. Its core is DARS, the Dividend Advantage Rating System, which scores each covered security from 1 to 5 on relative strength, yield attractiveness, dividend reliability, dividend uptrend and earnings growth. Stocks rated 3.5 or higher can appear on its recommended lists, and the sample Dividend Portfolios are built only from recommended or higher-rated names.
Some tools are free, including a dividend stock screener, an ex-dividend date search, high-yield searches and educational articles. Free users can also see a limited number of DARS ratings through monthly credits. Premium unlocks the full DARS breakdown for each stock, curated lists of top-rated dividend stocks and dividend capture candidates, unlimited ex-dividend searches, a monthly dividend income generator and a Dividend Assistant that tracks expected income over the next 12 months from holdings you link from a broker or enter by hand.
Dividend.com mentions a 14-day free trial on Premium and full refunds on cancellations within 30 days. The site blocked our automated reads of its pricing page, so we have not listed a price; check it on the site before signing up.
