Rating Breakdown
Avg.
Relative Strength
The relative strength of a dividend stock indicates whether the stock is uptrending or not. The major determining factor in this rating is whether the stock is trading close to its 52-week-high.
Overall Yield Attractiveness
If a stock’s yield is above or near the market average then it will be rated higher within this parameter. High dividend yields (usually over 10%) should be considered extremely risky, while low dividend yields (1% or less) are simply not very beneficial to long-term investors.
Dividend Reliability
A stock’s dividend reliability is determined by a healthy payout ratio that is higher than other stocks. A company that pays out close to half its earnings as dividends and retains the other half of earnings has ample room to grow its business and pay out more dividends in the future.
Dividend Uptrend
A stock’s Dividend Uptrend rating is dependent on the company’s price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio to evaluate whether or not a stock’s dividend is likely to trend upward. If a stock is valued near, or slightly below the market average, research has shown that the market expects the stock’s dividend to increase.
Earnings Growth
A stock’s Earnings Growth rating evaluates a company’s expected EPS for the current financial year and compares it to next financial year’s expected EPS. Stocks with single-digit growth estimates will have a higher rating than others, as our research has shown that well-established dividend-paying companies have modest earnings growth estimates.

The Index Provider uses software that analyzes publicly available data relating to the primary business activities, products and services, philanthropy, legal activities, policies and practices when assigning Inspire Impact Scores® to a company. The 400 securities with the highest Inspire Impact Scores® are included in the Large Cap Index and are equally weighted. The Large Cap Index is typically comprised of 50% domestic securities, 40% in developed foreign securities, and 10% in emerging market securities. The Inspire Impact Scores® of the securities in the Large Cap Index are reviewed periodically (at least annually), and the Index is rebalanced quarterly. If, upon review, the Inspire Impact Score® of a security falls below an acceptable level, the security is removed from the Large Cap Index and replaced with a higher scoring security.
The equity securities included in the Index are typically foreign and domestic equity securities of companies with capitalization of $5 billion (US Dollars) or more. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will invest at least 40% of its net assets in securities of companies in at least 3 countries outside the U.S. The Fund may concentrate its investments in a particular industry or group of industries to the extent that the Index concentrates in an industry or group of industries.
