Screening 98 Bursa Malaysia stocks under RM1 for dividends that actually last
Each stock earns up to 5 quality points. Most cheap stocks score low. Green bars (4 to 5) are the keepers.
Green = buy now, amber = watch for later, red = skip. Most of the list is a skip.
How the universe is spread across industries.
Five simple tests. Fewest pass the dividend-safety test, which is the hardest and the most important.
Stocks scoring 4 or 5 out of 5. Green = a perfect 5.
Average quality score per sector. Taller is better.
Each dot is a stock. Right and up = more profit (ROE). Far right on price (PE) means more expensive. Green dots are buys.
Up = bigger dividend. Right = more cash backing it (coverage is how many times free cash covers the payout). Left of the line (under 1x) means the cash does not cover the dividend: a red value trap. Green is safe.
These pay a tempting yield, but free cash does not cover it. The yield is a promise the cash cannot keep.
