The 65 Dividend Aristocrats Ranked By Quality Scores

The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index is a list of 65 companies in the S&P 500 that have increased their dividends for at least 25 consecutive years.

I ranked the Dividend Aristocrats using DVK Quality Snapshots and tie-breaking metrics and presented them in three articles covering defensive, sensitive, and cyclical supersectors. 

This article wraps up the series with a presentation of all Dividend Aristocrats ranked by quality scores and some observations about portfolio management and diversification. I provide a downloadable spreadsheet with fundamental and added value metrics for all Dividend Aristocrats.

Earlier articles in the series presented the Dividend Aristocrats by supersector:

• Defensive Dividend Aristocrats in the Consumer Staples, Health Care, and Utilities sectors.
• Sensitive Dividend Aristocrats in the Communication Services, Energy, Industrials, and  Information Technology sectors.
• Cyclical Dividend Aristocrats in the Consumer Discretionary, Financials, Materials, and Real Estate sectors.

In each article, I highlighted stocks trading at favorable valuations and suitable for further research and possible investment. Readers that missed any of these articles are invited to click on the links above to review these candidates.
