Tier definitions

Dividend Kings & Aristocrats

Dividend Kings are companies that have increased their dividend payouts for 50 or more consecutive years.

Dividend Aristocrats are S&P 500 constituents that have increased their dividend payouts for 25 or more consecutive years.

Dividend Contenders on this site are curated for a record of dividend increases (typically 10+ years or more). The list draws on large-cap dividend-growth indices and excludes S&P Dividend Aristocrats featured here, so it may not include every eligible stock. On the dashboard, use the Category tier chips to filter.

  • Use the Dividend Calculator on the detail page to estimate your annual and monthly returns.
