Here’s how I find good dividend stocks
Whenever I am looking at a potential dividend stock investment, I always check these five metrics:
Is its annual yield among the top 25% of dividend-paying companies?
Has it consistently paid a stable dividend without missing a payment or drastically cutting payout?
Has the amount of dividend per share grown over the past?
Can it afford to pay the current rate of dividends from its earnings?
Will it have the ability to keep paying its dividends going forward?

Does CF Industries Holdings pass our checks?
CF Industries Holdings has a trailing twelve-month payout ratio of 40%, which means that the dividend is covered by earnings. Going forward, analysts expect CF’s payout to remain around the same level at 38% of its earnings. Assuming a constant share price, this equates to a dividend yield of 2.8%. Furthermore, EPS is forecasted to fall to $2.46 in the upcoming year.
When assessing the forecast sustainability of a dividend
it is also worth considering the cash flow of the business
. A business with strong cash flow can sustain a higher divided payout ratio than a company with weak cash flow.
Reliablity is an important factor for dividend stocks, particularly for income investors who want a strong track record of payment and a positive outlook for future payout. In the case of CF it has increased its DPS from $0.080 to $1.2 in the past 10 years. During this period it has not missed a payment, as one would expect for a company increasing its dividend. This is an impressive feat, which makes CF a true dividend rockstar.
Compared to its peers, CF Industries Holdings produces a yield of 2.8%, which is high for Chemicals stocks but still below the market’s top dividend payers.

Taking into account the dividend metrics, CF Industries Holdings ticks most of the boxes as a strong dividend investment, putting it in my list of top dividend payers.
