20 Dividend Stocks With Strong Receivable Trends

Revenues are not all created equal - the quality of revenue can significantly differ between companies. One indicator for stronger or weaker sales is “accounts receivable,” the measure of sales earned but not yet received. Accounts receivable is part of the reported revenue figure, but accounts receivable is not guaranteed to be repaid - some defaults may occur. Therefore, when receivables make up a large portion of revenue, it reflects lower quality revenue. We ran a screen on dividend stocks with yields above 2% and sustainable payout ratios below 50% for those with strong receivable trends relative to revenue; specifically, increases in quarterly revenue y/y outpacing changes in quarterly accounts receivable. We also screened for quarterly accounts receivable becoming a smaller portion of current assets y/y. ‪Interactive Chart: Press Play to compare changes in analyst ratings over the last two years for the top six stocks mentioned below.
