All Open Dividend Stock

Open Dividend Stocks

One of my strategies has been to buy stocks with a dividend > 2.4% and a market cap > $600 million from the official screen. As I have noted, that approach is working ok.  Here is a listing of all open stocks from my tracking portfolios with a dividend of at least 2.6%:

Obviously, a lot of numbers there.  If we sort by market cap and look at results by market cap quartiles, here is what we see:

Row Labels	Average of Percent Change	Min of Mkt Cap	Max of Mkt Cap2
1	-10.2%	100	336
2	2.2%	338	1,125
3	-5.0%	1,131	5,396
4	1.0%	5,404	360,359
Grand Total	-3.0%	100	360,359

So, we do see that the smallest market cap stocks that pay dividends are the group to avoid. What if we use the $600 split I use?

Row Labels	Average of Percent Change	Min of Mkt Cap	Max of Mkt Cap2
1	-6.6%	100	596
2	-0.7%	610	360,359
Grand Total	-3.0%	100	360,359

So, it seems that continue to be a good split.

Now, let us look by stock:

TPUB	-54.2%	534	582

HSII	13.6%	359	359
HPQ	16.1%	45,043	45,043

NVEC	26.1%	229	229

RGR	43.2%	667	974
Grand Total	-3.0%	100	360,359

Here you can see that my exclusion of PDLI has been a good move. I was surprised VIAB did so well. But that is where the slightly higher bar of 2.6% dividend yield helps out.

Speaking of yield, what happens when we look at yield by quartiles?

Row Labels	Average of Percent Change	Min of Yield
1	4.7%	1.2%
2	0.1%	3.2%
3	-0.2%	3.9%
4	-16.9%	6.6%
Grand Total	-3.0%	1.2%

It is interesting that we have a perfect inverse relationship here  (ignore the 1.2% minimum, that is a mistake and should be 2.6%). So the stocks from 2.6% to 3.2% have done the best, while those north of 6.6% have done the worst. Some of the high ones are "special" dividends, such as BKE, PPC and NATH.  So while I have shown in the past that these are ok to include, perhaps they are less compelling.

Enough for now.
