Dividend aristocrats tracking

Dividend aristocrats are companies that have raised their dividend for 25+ consecutive years. They represent quality, resilience, and shareholder-friendly management. Get alerts when aristocrats drop into your valuation buy zone.

What are dividend aristocrats?

Dividend aristocrats are S&P 500 companies that have increased their dividend every year for at least 25 consecutive years. The list includes stalwarts like Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola, and 3M.

These companies survived recessions, market crashes, and industry disruptions while still raising dividends. That track record signals strong business models, resilient cash flows, and shareholder-friendly management.

Example
Dividend aristocrats with P/E below 20 and yield above 3%
JNJ P/E 18.2, yield 3.4%. 60 years of dividend growth.

Combining aristocrat status with valuation

The best time to buy aristocrats is when they trade below historical valuation multiples. Even high-quality companies go on sale during market corrections or temporary business headwinds. The combination of aristocrat status with attractive valuations creates compelling long-term buy opportunities.

Value and quality combined

Stack dividend aristocrat filters with valuation metrics to find quality companies trading at discounts. Look for aristocrats trading below book value, below historical P/E ranges, or with elevated yields relative to their history.

Example
Dividend aristocrats trading below book value with yield above 4%
3M P/B 0.92, yield 4.6%. 64 years of dividend growth.

Common variations you can build

  • Aristocrats with forward P/E below 15 (deep value)
  • Aristocrats that raised their dividend by 5%+ in the last quarter
  • Aristocrats with payout ratio below 50% (room for more raises)
  • Aristocrats with debt-to-equity below 0.5 (financial strength)
