Dividend Growth Pullback Screener

Overview

This skill screens for dividend growth stocks that exhibit strong fundamental characteristics but are experiencing temporary technical weakness. It targets stocks with exceptional dividend growth rates (12%+ CAGR) that have pulled back to RSI oversold levels (≤40), creating potential entry opportunities for long-term dividend growth investors.

Investment Thesis: High-quality dividend growth stocks (often yielding 1-2.5%) compound wealth through dividend increases rather than high current yield. Buying these stocks during temporary pullbacks (RSI ≤40) can enhance total returns by combining strong fundamental growth with favorable technical entry timing.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when:

• Looking for dividend growth stocks with exceptional compounding potential (12%+ dividend CAGR)
• Seeking entry opportunities in quality stocks during temporary market weakness
• Willing to accept lower current yields (1.5-3%) for higher dividend growth
• Focusing on total return over 5-10 years rather than current income
• Market conditions show sector rotations or broad pullbacks affecting quality names

Do NOT use when:

• Seeking high current income (use value-dividend-screener instead)
• Requiring immediate dividend yields >3%
• Looking for deep value plays with strict P/E or P/B requirements
• Short-term trading focus (<6 months)
