Dividend investing continues to be a key strategy for investors looking for steady income, especially in uncertain markets. One way to find strong dividend options is by looking for stocks with high dividend ratings and solid profitability and financial health, important signs of long-term viability. RESMED INC (NYSE:RMD) appears as a strong choice under this approach, offering a mix of dependable payouts, strong earnings, and a stable financial position.
ResMed’s dividend performance is notable for its steadiness and slow but steady growth, important qualities for income-focused investors:
These measures match the screening focus on long-term viability—a high dividend rating (7/10) reflects not just the current yield but the potential for continued payouts.
A company’s ability to maintain dividends depends on its profit generation. ResMed performs well here, with a ChartMill Profitability Rating of 9/10:
Strong profitability means less need to rely on debt to fund dividends, a key factor in the screening process.
A solid balance sheet (ChartMill Health Rating: 8/10) further supports RMD’s dividend outlook:
These factors align with the screen’s emphasis on financial stability—essential for avoiding dividend cuts during tough times.
While RMD trades at a higher valuation (P/E of 29.73 vs. the industry’s 27.64), its growth potential supports this premium:
ResMed represents the balance many dividend investors seek: a steady payout with room for growth, supported by strong profitability and financial health. While its yield may not attract those seeking high income, its low payout ratio and top-tier margins make it a dividend stock with growth potential—ideal for investors focused on long-term stability over short-term yield.
