To qualify as a Dividend Champion, a company must have increased its total dividends per share annually for a minimum of 25 consecutive years. Unlike the Dividend Aristocrats, however, Dividend Champions are not limited to S&P 500 stocks so the universe of stocks with 25+ years of dividend growth is a bit larger. In fact, the list of Dividend Champions is over twice the size of the Dividend Aristocrats list. To get the list down to a more manageable size, we selected companies with a dividend yield greater than 5% — only 10 Dividend Champions made the cut. The following table lists these Top 10 Dividend Champions.
Dividend Champions List Description: The following table lists the Dividend Champions based on their dividend yield. The table includes and can be sorted on: company name, dividend yield, payout ratio (a measure of dividend sustainability), market cap, beta (a measure of stock volatility), as well as the current trading day stock price percent change. Keep in mind that the Dividend Champions list changes throughout the year due to corporate actions (e.g. dividend suspensions, dividend cuts, spin-offs, dividend policy changes, etc.). This live table is updated throughout the trading day. Don’t miss out on important revisions to the Dividend Champions. Get our free Dogs of the Dow Newsletter.
