A note on the name
The official “Dividend Aristocrats” index requires 25+ consecutive years of dividend increases, which we can't verify from our current data. This list is a quality-income proxy: stocks with meaningful, covered yields in durable sectors. V2 will tighten the gate to true Aristocrats status.
Hard gates
- Market cap ≥ $10B — established businesses only
- Dividend yield ≥ 1.5% — must actually be paying income
- Dividend yield ≤ 10% — reject obvious yield traps
- Positive TTM earnings — can't sustain a dividend without them
Ranking score (100 pts)
- Yield Quality (25) — 3.5–6% sweet spot, anti-trap at extremes
- Size & Stability (20) — mega-cap preferred
- Payout Coverage (15) — earnings yield vs dividend yield
- Valuation (15) — reasonable P/E
- Stability (15) — lower beta = more predictable income
- Sector (10) — Consumer Defensive / Utilities / Healthcare / Energy favored
Refresh cadence: Rebuilds on the 1st Monday of each month.
How it differs from Buffett Quality: Buffett looks for durable compounders at any yield (including zero). This list is income-first — it won't show you AAPL / GOOGL (yields too small) but it will show you mature dividend payers like JNJ, KO, PG, XOM.
Yield traps: double-digit yields almost always signal distress. Our 10% ceiling kicks out the obvious ones, but no screen perfectly catches them all. Do your homework on anything yielding > 6%.
