Quantic for dividend investors
The strategy Quantic was built for: track the income you already receive, judge whether it is safe, and see the year it covers your life.
If you buy shares for the cash they pay you, your questions are different from a trader's. Not "where is the price going" but "how much will arrive, when, and will it still be there in ten years". Most tools answer the first question well and the second badly.
Quantic keeps a cash ledger of every dividend you have actually received — imported from your broker or entered by hand — and projects it forward: expected annual income, income-weighted growth, and a month-by-month calendar of when it lands. Each holding carries a 0–10 quality read and a safety verdict (safe, watch, at risk) built from payout ratio, growth history, streak and leverage, so a cut tends to announce itself before it happens. The screener ranks by that quality read rather than by yield, because sorting by yield is how people find yield traps.
A safety verdict is a read on public fundamentals, not a promise. Companies cut dividends that every model called safe. Quantic never tells you what to buy or sell — it shows you the arithmetic and names its sources.

Key terms
- Dividend score
- Quantic's 0–10 read on a dividend's quality, blending yield, payout stability and growth. Higher means sturdier — it's information, not a buy signal.
- Dividend safety
- A quick read on how sustainable a payout looks, from the payout ratio, the growth trend and streak, and the yield. "At risk" flags warning signs like paying out more than the company earns — it's a prompt to look closer, not a prediction.
- Yield trap
- An unusually high yield that looks tempting but signals danger: the market has pushed the price down because it expects a dividend cut. A stretched payout or a shrinking dividend alongside the sky-high yield is the tell — the income may not last.
- Yield on cost
- Your annual dividends from a holding divided by what you originally paid for it — so a growing payout keeps lifting your yield on cost even as the share price climbs.
- DRIP
- Dividend reinvestment: automatically using each dividend to buy more shares, compounding your income over time.
