How to Analyze Dividend Stocks

For a while now I’ve been wanting to make a video on how I specifically perform research on dividend paying stocks, and hopefully just having it serve as a resource for viewers who may be interesting in performing a more thorough investigation into a specific stock. However when I was putting together this video I realized this was a much more daunting task than I first anticipated.

I would say the challenge here is that you can’t treat all dividend paying stocks the same in terms of how you do your research. So for example you wouldn’t go through the exact same steps and analyze the exact same metrics for Johnson and Johnson, Realty Income and Ares Capital. The reason for that being these companies are structured completely differently from each other. JNJ is a consumer staple, Realty Income is a REIT that owns real estate, and Ares Capital is a BDC which is very similar to a private equity fund. These are three completely different company structures that vary in terms of how you should analyze them.

My goal for this video is to just provide the same steps I take for every dividend stock and also talk about the different tools, resources and websites that I use to determine if I think a stock is a good investment or not.
