How to use the best dividends in Canada table

The “MoneySense best dividend stocks for 2023” ranking should be viewed as a starting point for your research of Canadian dividend-paying stocks, not the end. This review of dividend-paying companies that trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange aims to identify those that offer the best investment potential now, based on quantitative factors such as yield, stability and value. You may use this list to narrow the prospective investments worthy of additional research before deciding whether they deserve to be included in your portfolio.

Our ranking does not account for other important qualitative factors, like management or economic risks, that could seriously affect a company’s performance. These are important for making investment decisions for sure, but they require a more second-level analysis best done on a company-by-company basis. By the same token, a low ranking doesn’t necessarily mean a company is a bad investment or is at risk of cutting its payout, either.

If you decide owning dividend stocks is a core element of your investing ideology, you may need to develop a playbook that aligns with your goals and values. One of the key attributes of successful investors is that, regardless of ideology, they have a plan or a process for executing investment decisions and making sure they stick to their playbook. They list the actions they need to take for the various situations and move on those plays when necessary and ideal.

Making an investing playbook can help take out the emotion of making investment decisions. If you believe dividend-paying stocks are an appropriate vehicle for growing your savings, then you would need to develop some kind of methodology for identifying dividend-paying stocks that will have a high probability of delivering a consistent and growing stream of income. The methodology used to identify the top performing dividend stocks in Canada here can provide a foundation for building your playbook.

Why did you change your dividend all star format from prior years? Not impressed!

Where is the column of current yields? All the stocks I see are at less than 2%, which is not attractive to anyone, as they are running at less than the current CPI.

Would definitely add TOU on the list.

Wouldn’t this be an excellent opportunity to explain what the columns in this table are, and how they work instead of ending this article with a 3 paragraph disclaimer? If your purpose is to educate, please do so.

I have been following this article since it first came out and have always found it to be informative and helpful. I am missing the A, B, and C tiers that you used to have or am I missing something?

Where did CJR.B go? Last years’ rare “A” list all star to this years’ top dividend slasher! My “A” list:
1. MFC with yet another increase to $1.46/yr…~6%@ todays close
2. BNS with a massive $4.12/yr per $65 share payout~6%+ “……”
3. ENB with their 29th consecutive increase to $3.55/yr ~6.8%
….CJR.B? ~6%@$1.70 SP at todays close after cutting their div by 50%

Two issues with rankings.
When you sort by ranking the order comes out 1, 10, 11 … 19, 2, 20
Please clarify what you mean by a “low ranking”. Is 1 or 100 low?

Is there anywhere we can get the values as you have published them in prior years? I understood the format you have used over the years. I do not understand your new format at all. Please help. Thanks.

Your list doesn’t make sense…the ranking is opposite to the number of points received by the stock, and the list is cut off by ads so you can’t see all of the columns unless you download the PDF!
You need to explain what you are trying to say!
Poor Job!

I preferred the old format that showed dividend yields, is there any way to see past reports? I’m specifically looking for dividend paying stocks.
