4 Mega-Cap Dividend Stocks With Strong Receivable Trends
By Kapitall:Do you prefer stocks that pay part of their return in dividend income? For ideas on how to start your own dividend stock search, we ran a screen. We began by screening the 200 largest US-traded companies, which we refer to as "mega-cap stocks," for those that pay dividend yields above 2% and sustainable payout ratios below 50%. We then screened for those stocks with strong sales trends, comparing growth in revenue to growth in accounts receivable over the last year. Since accounts receivable is the portion of revenue not yet received, and there is no guarantee the money will ever be received, the smaller the portion of revenue made up of receivables the healthier the company's revenue. We screened for stocks seeing faster growth in revenue than accounts receivable year-over-year, as well as accounts receivable comprising a smaller portion of current assets over the same time period.
