Best Dividend Paying Stocks Lists By Dividend Yield - Stock, Capital, Investment. The best equity investment is a stock with good fundamentals and a convincing equity story. If this stock is also attractive valuated it could promise good returns. I've tried to summarize some significant fundamentals in order to screen the whole capital markets by interesting dividend stocks. Every month, I create a quick list dividend list (from low-yield to high-yield paying stocks) of stocks with interesting performance and valuation figures. Stocks from that list are mid- and large caps (market capitalization of more than USD 1 billion) with double-digit long-term earnings growth rates. The companies are traded at AMEX, NYSE, NASDAQ and part of the Dow Jones, S&P 500 or Nasdaq Composite. The list is selected by the following criteria and sorted by dividend yield.

Market capitalization: > 1 Billion

Price/Earnings Ratio: > 0 < 100

Dividend Yield: > 3 < 20

Return on investment: > 10 < 100

Operating Margin: > 10 < 100
