The FTSE Highest Dividend Yield Scan delivers a robust, data-driven view of the top dividend-paying stocks listed on the Financial Times Stock Exchange (FTSE). Updated on a daily basis, this powerful tool is designed to help investors, retirement plan specialists, wealth managers, and institutional advisors stay informed on the most current dividend yield leaders in the UK market.

This scan highlights companies across diverse sectors, including financial services, energy, telecommunications, and utilities—industries known for historically stable dividend distributions. By focusing on dividend yield, the scan helps identify potential income-generating investments that align with long-term wealth preservation and capital income strategies.

What sets the FTSE Highest Dividend Yield Scan apart is its emphasis on quality filtering. The scan doesn’t simply present the highest yields—it also incorporates key qualitative and quantitative factors such as:

• Dividend sustainability: Analysis of payout ratios to ensure companies are not over-distributing relative to earnings
• Consistency of payments: History of uninterrupted or growing dividend payouts over multiple fiscal periods
• Yield strength: Screening for stocks where yields are competitive but not artificially inflated by falling share prices
• Sector diversification: Balanced exposure across multiple industry groups to reduce concentration risk
