Dividend Growth Stocks

Top-rated payers with active multi-year increase streaks — the compounding half of dividend investing.

Dividend growth investing prizes the raise more than the level: a 2% yield growing 10% a year overtakes a static 4% yield within a decade, and a management team that raises through cycles is telling you something about both the business and its priorities.

The longest records get their own pages — the Dividend Aristocrats (25+ years) and Dividend Kings (50+) — while this list surfaces strong current growers from our whole coverage, streak first.

From U.S.-listed common stocks (major U.S. exchanges only; OTC, Canadian and other foreign listings, ADRs, preferred shares and exchange-traded notes are excluded, and an issuer with several share classes appears once) with a DividendRank of 50 or higher, a yield between 1% and 8% and annual dividend totals that rose at least three years in a row, we take the 50 highest-ranked names and order them by their consecutive annual-increase streak (computed from split-adjusted annual dividend totals — the same method used on every ticker page). The match count covers every name that passes all of these tests.

A streak describes the past; it neither guarantees the next increase nor survives every recession. A streak says nothing about payout coverage, which is shown separately.
