ATLASDividend Stocks: A Live List of High-Yield US Companies
ATLAS Team · Updated November 2, 2026
There is no single "best" dividend stock. This page lists large US companies that pay dividends, screened by stated criteria: a market capitalisation of at least $5 billion and a yield below 12%, ordered by yield. For each one ATLAS shows the estimated payout ratio and the gap to fair value, so you can see whether a high yield is backed by earnings. Data updates through the day.
The screen, and why these criteria
A list of the highest yields on the market is mostly made of tiny companies, funds and companies in trouble. To keep it useful, the list below applies three filters taken from the ATLAS data: market cap of $5 billion or more, yield below 12% (a very high number is usually a warning, see dividend traps), and a positive dividend yield. It is ordered by yield, not by quality. It is a screen, not a recommendation.

Screen: market cap of at least US$1 billion (US$5 billion for the US list), yield below 12%, ordered by yield. Not a recommendation. Figures update through the day. Fair value is an estimate with a range and a confidence level, not a price target. Educational, not advice.
How to read the columns
- Yield: annual dividend ÷ price today.
- Estimated payout: yield × P/E, which approximates the share of earnings paid out. Above 100% means the company pays more than it earns, which cannot continue for long. It is an estimate: financial companies and REITs use other measures.
- Fair value: the price compared with the ATLAS fair value mid-point. Negative means the price is below it.
How to use a list like this
- Remove companies whose payout is far above what earnings or cash flow can support.
- Look at five years of dividends: stable or growing is better than erratic.
- Check debt. A company that borrows to pay dividends is fragile.
- Open the company page for the ex-dividend date and the fair value range.
- Think about taxes: in the US, qualified dividends and ordinary dividends are taxed differently (see what are dividends).
Dividend stocks versus dividend ETFs
A dividend ETF holds many payers at once, which reduces the damage of one cut. A single stock offers control but concentrates risk. See ETFs vs stocks.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best dividend stock?
There is no single best. It depends on your goals, tax situation and risk. This page shows a screen with stated criteria, not a recommendation.
Why is a yield above 12% excluded?
Because yields that high are usually a sign the price has collapsed or the dividend is about to be cut.
How often is the list updated?
The underlying data refreshes through the day and the page revalidates at least every six hours. The data date is shown above the table.
Is the payout ratio exact?
It is an estimate (yield × P/E). For banks, insurers and REITs use their own measures of distributable income.
