This week I am screening my database for stocks with a free cash flow payout below 35% and a dividend yield over 3%. The formula for Free Cash Flow Payout is simply Annual Dividend Per Share divided by Free Cash Flow Per Share. Free Cash Flow is Operating Cash Flow less normal capital expenditures (normally the first line in the investing section). Obviously, this is not a buy list but a potential idea list that will require additional due diligence.
Below are 7 stocks with debt that have a low Free Cash Flow Payout and a dividend yield over 3%:

The data present above is in its raw form. Some of the the companies would be disqualified for poor dividend fundamentals. However some of the others may be worth some additional probing.
My database, D4L-Data, is an Open Office spreadsheet containing more than 20 columns of information on the 250+ companies that I track. The data is sortable and has built-in buttons and macros to make it easy to use. Companies included in the list are those that have had a history of dividend growth. The D4L-Data spreadsheet is a part of D4L-Premium Services and is updated each Saturday for subscribers.
