Dividend Aristocrats
Dividend Aristocrats are companies in the S&P 500 that have increased their dividends for at least 25 consecutive years. These businesses demonstrate financial strength, stability, and a commitment to returning value to shareholders. To qualify, a company must meet the 25-year dividend growth requirement, be an S&P 500 member, and maintain adequate market capitalization and trading liquidity.
Investors favor Dividend Aristocrats for their reliability, making them attractive for income-focused portfolios. Many operate in defensive sectors like consumer staples, healthcare, and industrials, which tend to be resilient during market downturns.
