Dividend data · Canada & US · from company filings

High dividend paying stocks, checked against their filings

Short answer

A high dividend paying stock is only as good as its coverage. We read ten years of dividends, earnings and cash flow for 65 Canadian and US payers from their SEC filings, through fiscal 2025 (2026 for 3 companies with mid-year year-ends): 33 look well covered today, 12 strained, and 22 cuts are documented.

Figures as of 2026-11-10.

Ten years of dividends per share, payout of earnings and cash flow, and every cut, for 65 widely held TSX, NYSE and Nasdaq dividend payers, read from their own SEC filings and linked. Then plan the income: by month, by account, after Canadian or US tax.

Quick answers

What is a good dividend yield?

There is no single good number. A yield is only useful next to the payout ratio, cash flow, debt and the company's own history. A yield far above a company's usual level often means the price fell because the market doubts the dividend. See yield traps.

Are dividends guaranteed?

No. The board of directors declares each dividend and can raise, cut, suspend or eliminate it. Preferred shares have contractual dividend terms, but even those can be suspended in some cases.

Do you recommend dividend stocks?

No. We publish dividend history and coverage for 65 widely held companies, read from their own SEC filings, plus a screener that flags what to research next. We don’t publish picks, ratings, price targets or buy and sell calls. See the screener and methodology.

Where do your numbers come from?

Company data comes from each company’s own SEC filings (EDGAR XBRL) and annual reports; tax rules from the CRA and provincial worksheets, Service Canada, the Department of Finance treaty text, the IRS and Rev. Proc. 2025-32, the SEC, CSA, FINRA and TMX. Each page lists its sources and dates. See methodology.
