A defensive stocks screener for consistent dividends and positive sales growth regardless of market conditions

How this screener works

Requires: revenue growth positive for last 2 quarters, 20-day historic volatility < 30%, beta <= 1.0, 5-year dividend growth >= 10%, dividend >= $0.01, annual sales >= $100M, EPS > $1, P/E ratio between 0.01 and 30, market cap >= $3B, and options available. The beta <= 1 filter ensures less volatility than the market, the $3B market cap floor limits to established large-caps, and the P/E cap of 30 excludes speculative valuations. These stocks tend to be in utilities, consumer staples, and healthcare.
