Why Combining PE, PB, and Dividend Yield Matters for Value Investing

A low PE alone can be misleading if the company has high debt or poor earnings quality. Pairing it with a low PB ratio ensures you are not overpaying for net assets, while a minimum dividend yield confirms that management is returning cash to shareholders. This triple-filter approach is the backbone of the techno-fundamental CANSLIM strategy adapted for Indian markets.

For example, a stock like Coal India (PE ~8, PB ~1.2, yield ~5%) passes all three filters, while a high-growth stock with no dividend and inflated PB would be excluded. This method reduces downside risk and improves the probability of mean reversion gains.

📌 Key Insight
Stocks with PE < 15, PB < 1.5, and dividend yield > 2% historically outperform the Nifty 50 by 3-5% annually over 3-year holding periods.

How to Use the Value Picks Screener NSE on QUANTSCASE

Set PE Filter — Enter a maximum PE of 15 to exclude overvalued growth stocks. Use trailing twelve months (TTM) earnings.

Set PB Filter — Enter a maximum PB of 1.5 to ensure you are not paying more than 1.5 times book value per share.

Set Dividend Yield — Enter a minimum dividend yield of 2% to confirm cash returns. Avoid stocks with yields above 8% as they may signal distress.

Run the Screener — Click 'Apply' to see the filtered list. Use the Fundamental Value Picks screener to automatically apply these thresholds.

Verify with Fundamentals — Check debt-to-equity below 1 and positive free cash flow for the last 3 years to avoid value traps.

💡 Pro Tip
Sort the results by dividend yield descending to find the most shareholder-friendly companies first, then cross-check with 5-year average PE to ensure the low PE is not due to a temporary earnings spike.
