Is regular dividend payout an important criterion for you when investing in a company?

If your answer is yes, another criterion you may want to consider is to avoid companies that have a large amount of debt as the investment risk will be higher. Companies with a large debt face higher liquidity and insolvency risks when the following scenarios happen:

• Their business suffers from cyclical downturns
• When the cost of debt rises significantly
• Credit is simply not available when maturing debt is due for re-financing.

As such, it would be prudent to ensure that the dividend stocks which you intend to invest in has little or no debt.

ShareInvestor Market Screener can help you to filter a list of dividend stocks with little or no debt using the following suggested criteria.

• Net debt less than $1,000,000 for the past 5 years; AND
• Dividend yield more than 5% for the past 5 years.

10 records were found with the ShareInvestor Market Screener. Are you surprised to learn that the company that tops the charts based on the above criteria is not a very well-known stock called CDW? Other companies that fit the criteria includes Global Inv and Hotung.
