Tools For The Dividend Income Investor

Help

A quick tour of everything on the site. For a shorter overview see About; for how the A–E letter grades are calculated see Ratings.

Home page: symbol lookup

Search any stock or fund ticker (or type a company/fund name to find one) to pull up its description, latest close, trailing-twelve-month dividend yield, and sector (when known). The symbol shown defaults to a random pick the first time you visit, then remembers whatever you last searched.

Charts

  • Adjusted close price — 1/3/5/10-year price history.
  • Stock Growth (CAGR) — annualized compounded growth over the same periods.
  • Annual dividends — total dividends paid each of the last 10 years.
  • Stock Volatility — annualized standard deviation of returns over the same periods.

Every chart has a "View as table" link for the underlying numbers. The price and CAGR charts can also overlay a benchmark using the "Compare with..." toggle — the benchmark (a sector ETF, the S&P 500, or a T-Bill fund) is chosen automatically to fit the holding.

Rating badges

The CAGR, dividend, and volatility charts each carry a 12-point star badge with an A–E letter grade comparing that stock against its benchmark. See Ratings for exactly how each grade is calculated.

Correlation

Compare any two symbols to see how closely their monthly returns move together. Enter both tickers to get a correlation coefficient (-1 to 1) for the 1/3/5/10-year periods, plus a side-by-side price chart rebased to percent change so symbols at very different price levels are easy to compare. Useful for checking whether adding a stock would actually diversify a portfolio or just duplicate exposure you already have.

Income Portfolio Designer

Model the dividend income a multi-stock portfolio would generate. Enter each stock or fund and how much you'd invest in it (the entry form collapses automatically once you calculate, and can be reopened with "Edit holdings" to make changes).

  • Holdings — amount invested, trailing yield, and estimated annual income per stock.
  • Dividend income by month — how that income is spread across the year, since a quarterly payer only pays in 3 of 12 months. Each stock's monthly pattern comes from its recent pay history, scaled to match its actual trailing-twelve-month total (so it agrees with the yield shown in Holdings).
  • Portfolio Growth, Volatility & Annual Dividends charts — the combined portfolio's CAGR and volatility (weighted by share count), and what the current position sizes would have paid in dividends over the last 10 years — each benchmarked against VOO (S&P 500).

Figures are estimates based on historical data and approximate share counts; actual future payouts can differ.

Ratings

Explains exactly how the Stock Growth, Dividend, and Volatility letter grades are calculated, including how the benchmark (sector ETF, S&P 500, or T-Bill) is chosen for each stock. Visit the Ratings page directly for the full breakdown.
