As Enterpreneur, the founder and CEO of the BeatMarket & MaxDividends, I actively use the project’s developments when choosing stocks for investment. In the case of MaxDividends, we use the Financial Score at the final stage of candidate selection, selecting only companies with a score of 80+. Today I would like to talk more about what Financial Score is.
What is the Financial Score?
Financial Score is a rating system based on a company's fundamental metrics. It ranges from 20 to 99, with higher scores indicating stronger companies.
Stocks rated 80+ are considered high-quality, while those rated 50 or below are seen as weaker investments.
This score helps you quickly sift through thousands of stocks to build unique investment strategies that boost your returns.
Global vs. Local Scores
The Financial Score has two components: Global and Local. The Global Score assesses a company's strength worldwide, while the Local Score focuses on its performance within its country.
Both scores use the same metrics but are ranked separately to help you identify local market leaders.
Coverage and Methodology
Our Team evaluates over 20,000 companies worldwide, including:
North America: USA, Canada
Europe: UK, Finland, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Poland, Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal, Ireland, Switzerland
Asia and Oceania: Japan, Australia, China, India
We gather financial data daily and analyze the past 25 years of reports to ensure robust evaluations. This long-term perspective helps us assess a company's resilience during economic downturns.
Financial Score Comprises 3 Key Components
1. Growth Evaluation
We analyze data on sales, operating profit, net income, earnings per share, return on equity, and the trends of these metrics.
It's crucial for us to understand if the company is growing and developing rather than stagnating and incurring losses.
2. Dividend Policy Evaluation
A consistent management approach to investor relations indicates a transparent governance structure and strong management. The dividend policy is a significant aspect of analyzing any public company.
At MaxDividends, we analyze the presence or absence of dividend payments, the overall payment trends, and the frequency of payments. It's important that dividends are paid from current income, not from past profits or loans. We look at the dividend per share and the percentage of profit allocated for distribution.
When a company consistently pays or does not pay dividends, regularly increases them, or directs all funds towards development, it indicates a well-planned business management and development strategy.
We also pay attention to the presence of share buyback programs. When a company buys back shares, it indicates management's confidence that the shares are undervalued.
3. Stability Evaluation
In this section, we assess the company's overall financial health. This includes the ratio of total assets to total liabilities, the ratio of current assets to current liabilities, the debt-to-equity ratio, and growth sustainability. It's crucial for a company to have a cushion to operate effectively during a market crisis.
Each section (Growth-Dividend-Stability) has a maximum score of 5. If a company meets all the top-tier business criteria, it scores 15 points.
The system then ranks companies and converts the evaluation into the Financial Score.
The Global Financial Score considers all evaluated companies worldwide, while the Local Financial Score only considers companies within a specific country.
Why This Matters
Buy Healthy Businesses, Sell Stagnating Ones
Historically, companies with a Score of 90 and above significantly outperform those with lower ratings. Check out some results comparing the performance of stocks with high ratings (90+) against those with low ratings (60 and below).
Choosing stocks based on the analysis of a company's fundamental metrics is a wise investment of your time to identify the best businesses. The Financial Score helps MaxDividends Team to quickly identify leaders and laggards in long-term investing.

MaxDividends Stocks are Unique
They not only provide income but have a strong track record of increasing that income over the years.
Plus, investing in companies that consistently raise dividends has historically been a solid strategy. And the most important thing here is that not only I and my investments participate in the accumulation, but also the companies themselves.

Every week on Fridays, I make purchases according to the plan and post the strategy results on the MaxDividends blog. I enter my purchases in the MaxDividends App and it automatically calculates my dividend income forecast.

Do you know what is the power of the MaxDividends strategy? It is that even if I stop investing right now, my dividend income will continue to grow. And even a conservative forecast says that in the next 10 years the growth will be 4 times.
Dividends provide a constant source of passive income, which makes dividend stocks an attractive option for conservative investors and those who are not ready to spend time on constant market monitoring.
At this stage in my life, predictable growing passive income is more important than the long-term price appreciation of stocks, because I plan to live off the dividends. And this is where MaxDividends shows its value.
