High Dividend Stocks And Value Investing

Barron's recently ran an article (written by Research Affiliates), which is titled "Get Smart About Picking Dividend-Rich Stocks." The article highlights that high-quality, high-dividend-paying stocks outperform low-quality, high-dividend-paying stocks. The quality of the firm is measured by profitability, financial distress, and accounting red flags.

The results suggest that a sort on a simple value investing measure works well at sorting dividend stocks. Compared to the more complex quality screen proposed by Barron's, this sorting variable is a good alternative for investors who prefer high dividend stocks.
