Why cap the payout ratio at 75%?

A company that pays out most of its profit has no room left when earnings dip except to cut the dividend. 75% is a common cutoff that leaves a buffer; it is not an absolute rule.

How is this different from the plain dividend list?

This one only includes large (at least $10B), profitable companies that can fund the dividend from earnings. The plain list ranks by yield alone.

Which stocks lead the list right now?

As of 2026-10-15: Gold Fields Limited (GFI), Novo Nordisk A/S (NVO), Infosys Limited (INFY), Canadian Natural Resources Limi (CNQ), Chevron Corporation (CVX). In total 18 stocks meet the criteria.

Is this list investment advice?

No. It is the output of an automatic filter on public data; the criteria are written on the page. No stock is recommended for purchase and this is not a fatwa.

How often is the list updated?

The page is rebuilt every 30 minutes. Prices update every 5 minutes, technicals (RSI, 52-week high, 1-year performance) after each trading day closes, and fundamentals (P/E, dividend, ROE) every few days.

Where does the halal rating come from?

From our own AAOIFI-style screener: prohibited business activity, interest-bearing debt, cash and interest-income ratios are checked. The methodology page lists the thresholds and sources.

How to use this list

A moderate payout ratio is only one sign of dividend safety — it says nothing about debt, cash flow or how cyclical the business is. In cyclical industries (commodities, shipping) a good year's profit can halve the next year.

This is not a conclusion — it is a starting point for research. Each stock's page shows its halal ratios and reasons; study the business, its reports and its price chart separately.

Halal status is re-checked daily and can change. Before buying, check the latest screening date on the stock's page. Screening methodology
