Dividend Champions

Dividend Growth Investor tells me that the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats is an incomplete list. For example, the steel company Nucor paid a special dividend on top of its regular dividend. When they ended their special dividend, S&P considered that to be a dividend cut even though they continued to raise their regular dividend. That doesn’t seem fair.

Instead of the Dividend Aristocrats, Dividend Growth Investor recommends the Dividend Champions list complied by David Fish. That list has over 100 names. Fish also includes stocks that have raised their dividends at least 10 years in a row, and at least five years in a row. You can see the Dividend Champions here.
