Names whose Dividend Growth verdict passes tonight: a decade-plus raise streak with no cut, a mid-single-digit-or-better dividend growth rate, and free cash flow that covers the payout with room to spare. Coverage and durability over headline yield. REITs and financials are included: their payout is read on funds from operations (FFO) at an 85% cap where we can compute it, and on earnings at 75% where we cannot. Minimum $1B market cap. A research read on dividend durability, never a recommendation.

A name qualifies when it clears every criterion it has data for. A criterion shown as "not checked" doesn't count against it (at least 3 of the 6 must have data).

Common questions

What counts as a dividend growth stock?

On this screen, a company that pays a dividend, has a 10-year-plus raise streak (25 years makes it an Aristocrat, 50 a King), has not cut in the last five years, has grown the dividend at least 5% a year over five years, covers the payout from free cash flow, and is not stretching its payout ratio.

Why screen on growth and coverage instead of yield?

A high yield is often a falling share price rather than a generous company, and it is the shape a dividend has just before it is cut. A long raise streak that survived recessions, plus free cash flow that covers the payout with room to spare, is evidence the dividend can keep being paid. Yield alone is not.

Which dividend growth stocks qualify today?

152 of 2513 screened US names (as of 2026-10-01). Up to the top 5 publish in the free view with their full per-criterion receipts, and the rest comes with Premium. The list is recomputed nightly.

Does a name have to pass every criterion to qualify?

Not every one: a name must clear every criterion that has live data, and at least 3 of the 6 must have data. A criterion shown as "not checked" doesn't count against a name, so nothing on the list fails a criterion it has data for.

Every row carries its qualifying math, frozen at run time.
