High dividend ASX stocks
Rank Australian listed companies by dividend yield. Open the screen and you get the ASX companies with the highest reported yield, each one shown with the figure it was ranked on. Move the threshold, or add another measure alongside it.

What the screen actually does
It sorts ASX-listed companies by their reported dividend yield and lists the ones at the top, with the yield shown against each. Nothing is selected for you and nothing is ranked by opinion — it is one published figure, in order.
- Dividend yield
- Dividend per share
- P/E ratio
- Earnings per share
- Price to book (MRQ)
- Profit margin
- Market cap
- Sector and industry
- …and dozens more
Yield is rarely the only thing worth filtering on. Add earnings, debt or profit margin to the same screen and you narrow the list to companies that meet all of your conditions at once.
Three things worth knowing about a yield screen
None of these are obstacles. They are properties of the measure, and knowing them changes how you read a result.
Yield moves when the price moves
Dividend yield is the dividend divided by the share price, so it rises when the price falls even though the dividend has not changed. A company at the very top of a yield ranking has often had a large price fall, and the figure reflects that as much as it reflects the payout.
It is backward-looking
The yield is calculated from dividends already declared. A company under no obligation to repeat them can cut or suspend at any time, and a one-off special dividend inflates the figure for a year before dropping out of it.
The ASX pays more than most markets
Australia's index is weighted toward financials, materials and energy — sectors that distribute a larger share of earnings than the technology-heavy US market. A yield that looks high against a NASDAQ screen may be ordinary on the ASX.
Every company in a result opens onto its price history, historical financial statements and metrics, so you can check the figures the screen ranked it on rather than take them on trust. Dividend yield itself is charted over time, against the price.
Compare against other markets
The same yield screen runs on every market Equishark covers, so an ASX result can be read next to the equivalent list elsewhere. Company data is refreshed daily.
