Here’s how I find good dividend stocks

When researching a dividend stock, I always follow the following screening criteria:

ADVERTISEMENT
  • Is it paying an annual yield above 75% of dividend payers?

  • Has it consistently paid a stable dividend without missing a payment or drastically cutting payout?

  • Has dividend per share risen in the past couple of years?

  • Is it able to pay the current rate of dividends from its earnings?

  • Will it be able to continue to payout at the current rate in the future?

How well does TiVo fit our criteria?

TiVo has a negative payout ratio, meaning that the company is not yet profitable and is paying dividend by dipping into its retained earnings. If dividend is a key criteria in your investment consideration, then you need to make sure the dividend stock you’re eyeing out is reliable in its payments. Unfortunately, it is really too early to view TiVo as a dividend investment. Last year was the company’s first dividend payment, so it is certainly early days. The standard practice for reliable payers is to look for 10 or so years of track record. In terms of its peers, TiVo has a yield of 5.04%, which is high for Software stocks.

Next Steps:

Whilst there are few things you may like about TiVo from a dividend stock perspective, the truth is that overall it probably is not the best choice for a dividend investor. But if you are not exclusively a dividend investor, the stock could still be an interesting investment opportunity. Given that this is purely a dividend analysis, I recommend taking sufficient time to understand its core business and determine whether the company and its investment properties suit your overall goals. I’ve put together three essential factors you should further research:
