About DividendRanks
What Is DividendRanks?
DividendRanks is a free dividend stock research platform. We track dividend yields, payout ratios, ex-dividend dates, payment histories, and dividend grades for every US dividend-paying stock and ETF — over 3,500 securities in total. Every tool, list, and data page on this site is 100% free with no paywall, no account required, and no premium tier.
What We Offer
Every dividend-paying US stock and ETF has a dedicated page showing dividend yield, payout ratio, full payment history, growth rates, a financial snapshot, peer comparisons, and our 5-category dividend grading system. We maintain curated lists including Dividend Aristocrats, Dividend Kings, high-yield stocks, monthly payers, safe dividend stocks, and sector-specific collections.
Our ex-dividend calendar tracks upcoming ex-dates with filters by yield, sector, and frequency in both weekly and monthly views. For analysis, we offer a dividend investment simulator using real historical data, a dividend calculator, a DRIP calculator, a yield calculator, and a full dividend stock screener with filters for yield, payout ratio, streak length, growth rate, and sector.
Our proprietary dividend grading system rates every dividend stock across five dimensions — Yield, Growth, Safety, Consistency, and Performance — relative to sector peers. The grades are transparent and reproducible: we publish the full methodology.
The learning center contains over 150 articles covering dividend basics, investing strategy, tax implications, stock analysis, and asset types. We also offer head-to-head dividend comparisons for popular stock and ETF pairs.
Our Data
Our financial data is sourced from Financial Modeling Prep (FMP). Stock prices are updated daily after market close. Dividend history, ex-dates, and payment dates come from SEC filings and FMP's dividend endpoints. Our dividend grades are computed daily using sector-relative percentile rankings.
Data may be delayed or contain errors. We are not a real-time data provider. Always verify information independently before making investment decisions.
Our Approach
Two things differentiate DividendRanks from other dividend research sites:
Transparency over proprietary scoring. Some competitors sell “dividend safety scores” behind a paywall with no explanation of how they work. Our dividend grades use published, reproducible criteria — percentile rankings within each sector across five measurable dimensions. You can see exactly why a stock got each grade.
Free access to everything. We don't gate any data, tools, or features behind a subscription. Every stock page, every list, every calculator, every article is free and always will be.
Not Investment Advice
DividendRanks provides financial data for informational purposes only. We are not registered investment advisors. Nothing on this site constitutes a recommendation to buy, sell, or hold any security. Past dividend performance does not guarantee future results. Always do your own research and consult a qualified financial advisor.
