Overview
The GNG Research Terminal is a free dividend stock screener for US-listed stocks and ETFs. Filter by dividend yield, dividend per share, payout ratio, ex-dividend date, and the months a company pays dividends. Then compare results by price, market cap, valuation, balance sheet strength, and price trend in a sortable table.
For a high dividend stock screener, start with the Income screen. Use a yield of at least 3%, set the payout ratio cap near 75%, and keep debt-to-equity below 1. For REITs, utilities, and other asset-heavy firms, the payout ratio uses operating cash flow rather than only GAAP earnings. The EPS payout ratio gives a stricter earnings view. Sort by yield and save the screen as a view for later.
The tool also works as a general stock screener. You can set the asset type to ETF or preferred, limit stocks to REIT industries, or filter by P/E, price-to-book, market cap, beta, and RSI. You can also narrow the table to your portfolio holdings, open company data, or send a sample of the displayed results to GNG Analyst with Analyze Screen.
Product tour
Screen companies by profile, fundamentals, quality, growth, dividends and price ranges.
Advanced Filters group company profile, fundamentals, quality, growth, dividends, and price ranges. Use the Income screen, with a yield of at least 3%, or the Quality screen, with debt-to-equity below 1 and current ratio above 1. Add payout ratio or pay month filters, then narrow the list by sector, industry, exchange, or country. Value and Growth starter screens are clearly marked for GNG Pro users.
With GNG Pro, download the current screen as a CSV, Excel or PDF file.
The Export menu supports CSV for data work, Excel for spreadsheet tasks, and PDF for easy review. If you have GNG Pro or a higher-tier plan, you can export your dividend shortlist with the chosen fields for later analysis or for a dated research log. Available exports depend on your account plan.
Features
Filter and sort results by dividend yield, annual dividend per share, dividend payout ratio, EPS payout ratio, ex-dividend date, and the latest payment date. Free users can access these fields, Pro Lite adds three-year and five-year dividend growth rates, and GNG Pro adds the FFO payout ratio for equity REITs.
Pay Date Pattern shows typical dividend months from recent records, using the ex-dividend date when the payment date is missing. Choose the all-months pattern to look for monthly payers, or combine different quarterly patterns. Future payment timing can change.
Choose ETF or preferred to filter funds and preferred stocks by dividend yield, dividend per share, pay months, price, and RSI. Leave out payout ratio and ex-dividend date for ETF screens, since those fields apply to stocks only. You can also limit stocks to REIT industries such as residential, retail, or mortgage REITs.
Add filters such as P/E, forward P/E, price-to-book, price-to-sales, market cap, debt-to-equity, and interest coverage to your dividend screen. You can also track price trends with RSI over 7, 14, and 21 days, plus MACD, the 50-day and 200-day moving averages, the 52-week range, and 252-day price momentum.
Pick and arrange columns as needed, sort by key metrics, and add averages or medians. You can search the metric list to find a field without digging through every category.
Save your selected columns, filters, sort order, and summary metrics under a custom name. Load the view later, edit it as your approach changes, or copy a GNG view into your collection. The number of saved views depends on your plan.
Choose a portfolio to limit the table to its holdings, helping you review yield, payout ratios, and payment months for assets you already own. The Portfolio Tracker can also open those tickers in the Research Terminal with a chosen research view.
GNG Pro adds the GNG Rating and Quant, Safety, and Quality scores, fair value estimates, advanced technical indicators, screen exports, and access to the GNG research spreadsheet. Pro Lite includes core screening columns such as dividend growth rates, PEG and PEGY ratios, ROIC, and EV/EBITDA.
Select any ticker for deeper company analysis, check a field in the GNG data dictionary, or send a sample of displayed rows and accessible columns to GNG Analyst with Analyze Screen to ask follow-up questions. GNG Analyst uses GNG credits and only the data available in your plan.
