MarketBeat’s value-building tools include the MarketBeat Top-Rated Dividend Stocks screener, which identifies highly rated dividend stocks. The tool analyzes analyst data on dividend stocks and ranks them by rating, but investors need to be cautious when using it. A dividend stock with a score of 4.0 has 100% bullish analyst ratings, indicating dividend-affirming market support, but there may be only one analyst covering it. This article goes a step further, filtering out names with a score below 3.0 and a yield below 3.0%, focusing on small- and mid-cap companies worth investing in. The results are a quick look at some of the highest-yielding and most-loved small and mid-cap stocks on Wall Street.
