Dividend Kings are companies that have raised their annual dividend payouts for at least 50 consecutive years. These companies have shown remarkable resilience, consistently increasing shareholder returns through major economic recessions, market downturns, and industry disruptions.
No index provider or exchange maintains a list of Dividend Kings, so membership depends on how you count a dividend streak. I explain my approach in the article.
I rank the 53 Dividend Kings by 9F Quality Scores, my quality scoring system that rates dividend stocks on a 10-point scale across nine weighted factors. Each factor blends qualitative expert assessments from independent sources with quantitative financial metrics.
