If I read your comment correctly we ARE showing you stocks with dividends while Y!Finance is reporting N/A or missing data. When we look deeper into source data among different data vendors we get different results - this happens commonly among the low volume issues and it explains the steps we go through to ensure the highest quality data is analyzed - and not the most accessible.

From 1 of my colleagues:

"Two data feeds say one thing. Two other data feeds say something else entirely! It sounds so familiar. It sounds more than a little like a standard part of our bad print discussion.

From the symbols you asked for, PKJ has been getting 1.00 dividends twice a year. The last one was in December... yahoo says 0, the 'indicated rate' on [vendor name withheld] is 2.00, which seems to make sense. Our DataBase has a 1 under dividend [indicating a dividend is present], so presumably it's seeing the same thing as [vendor name withheld]. DailyFinance.com doesn't list any dividends in the last 5 years, so maybe they and yahoo are using feeds with missing data."
