Dividend Growth Stock Screen — UK
Dividend growth investors look for companies that raise their dividend year after year, funded by a profitable business rather than by debt. This screen keeps stocks yielding at least 2% whose dividend grew by at least 5% a year over the last three years, with solid returns, margins and a moderate balance sheet.
The rules of this screen
A stock listed in the UK appears below only if it passes every rule:
- Return on equity (ROE) of at least 12%
- Net profit margin of at least 8%
- Dividend yield of at least 2% (last twelve months)
- Dividend per share grew at least 5% a year over the last 3 years
- Debt-to-equity of 0.75 or less (total debt at most 75% of shareholders' equity)
Data comes from company filings and market prices, refreshed after every trading day. Stocks with a missing value for any rule are left out.

Three years of growth is a short record, and a special dividend can inflate it. Check the payout ratio and free cash flow cover on each company page, and remember that dividends can be cut. Withholding tax on foreign dividends varies by country.
This page lists the stocks that pass a set of rules. It is not a recommendation to buy or sell any of them, and past results of a strategy say nothing certain about future returns.
