The Highest Dividend Yield screen lists NSE- and BSE-listed stocks that currently meet a specific set of filters: Yield ≥ 5%. It is an automated, rules-based filter that surfaces companies matching those numbers — Dividend yield of 5% or more. It is an informational research tool, not a curated list of recommendations.

A stock appears in Highest Dividend Yield when it satisfies Yield ≥ 5%. Every company in the list passes all of these conditions at the time of the most recent data refresh. You can open any stock to see how it meets each condition.

The list is recalculated on our regular data-refresh cycle. Price- and volume-based screens update through the trading day, while fundamentals-based screens update as new financial data becomes available. The stocks shown reflect the latest available data, not a fixed or historical snapshot.

Yes. You can start from Highest Dividend Yield and adjust the thresholds, add or remove filters, and combine it with other conditions to build your own screen. Free users can run all presets and save a limited number of custom screens.

No. Highest Dividend Yield is a neutral, informational filter that shows which stocks currently match a mathematical set of conditions. It does not constitute investment advice and is not a buy, sell, or hold recommendation. Always do your own due diligence or consult a SEBI-registered investment adviser before investing.

Not necessarily. Meeting the criteria only tells you the stock matches those specific numbers today — it says nothing about future performance, valuation fairness, or the quality of the underlying business. Treat the results as one input among many.

Not necessarily. Dividend yield is the annual dividend divided by the share price, so a very high yield can result from a falling share price rather than a generous dividend, and may be unsustainable if the company pays out more than it can afford. That is why some screens add payout-ratio and debt filters to focus on more sustainable payers.

No. Dividend yields are based on the most recent declared or trailing dividends and current price. Companies can cut, suspend, or change dividends at any time depending on profits and board decisions. Past dividends do not guarantee future payouts.
