Why I built DividendAtlas

That was the gap I kept hitting as a dividend investor. The trackers out there are good at logging payments and plotting ex-dates, but selecting a dividend stock is a research problem, not a calendar problem.

Take a stock yielding 9%. On a tracker, that looks like a winner, twice the income of everything else in your portfolio. But a yield that high is often a warning rather than a gift. The share price has usually collapsed because the market expects the dividend to be cut. The only way to tell a genuine high-yielder from a yield trap is to look underneath the number. Is the payout covered by earnings? Is free cash flow holding up? How has the dividend grown over the last ten years? What's the debt load? A tracker that shows you a revenue figure and an EPS number and calls it fundamentals can't answer that. It's not research. It's a footnote.

The tools that do take fundamental analysis seriously have a different problem: they're built for US investors. They track the S&P 500, price everything in dollars, and treat anything listed in Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris, or London as an afterthought, if they cover it at all.

So if you want both real fundamental depth and proper coverage of European stocks, you're stuck stitching together two or three tools that were never meant to work together. I know, because that's exactly what I was doing.

We import your transactions from DeGiro, Trading 212, or Interactive Brokers and enrich every holding with dividend history, upcoming ex-dates, yield on cost, and a forward income projection.

But it goes further than tracking. The stock browser lets you research and screen dividend stocks the way you'd research anything you're putting real money into: dividend growth history, payout sustainability, valuation, and full fundamentals, across all major European exchanges, with multi-currency portfolios handled automatically.
