Where to buy them
To hold these as real shares you need a stockbroker rather than a CFD provider. If you only want exposure to the price movement, a share CFD does that with leverage — and without ownership.

Frequently asked questions
How many dividend stocks are in this list?
99, drawn from our US exchange-listed universe and spread across 11 sectors. 99 of them pay a dividend.
Is this a list of dividend stocks to buy?
No. It is a screen — a defined, reproducible filter over a stated universe. A screen tells you which companies share a characteristic; it says nothing about whether the price you would pay today is a sensible one. Nothing here is investment advice.
What is the main risk with dividend stocks?
Dividends are declared, not guaranteed. They are cut precisely when you need the income most.
How do I actually buy these from outside the US?
You need a broker that accepts your country of residence and gives you access to US exchanges. To own the shares outright, that usually means an international stockbroker plus a W-8BEN form to claim your treaty rate on dividend withholding.
