    What Ratios Are you using to find Dividend Growth Stocks

    I'm trying to set some parameters for future screens to identify companies that may be dividend growth candidates. I signed up for FastGraphs which appears to have a good screener and can produce custom graphs with the ratios I want to use. The following ratios are what I'm thinking of using:

    Quick Ratio
    Levered Cash Flow
    Price to Free Cash Flow
    EPS Growth
    P/E
    CAGR Dividend

    I may need to scale back the screens a bit because the more ratios seem to produce limited results. Anybody have any dividend growth screen parameters they use?

    Is there much of a difference between FastGraphs and Finviz other than finviz is free? But in terms of picking dividend stocks, I like to stick with stocks I know, or I will look at technicals on a chart. I like to see a familiar company like WMT get beaten up, while being certain their dividend is safe.

    I havent used FinViz before so I can’t really compare. You can do a free 14 day trial on FastGraphs which is what I am doing now. I really like the layout and the presentation of the information. The dividend growth table based on the amount you are investing is really nice. I may buy a year subscription when trial period ends.
