The list of all Dividend Achievers is valuable because it provides dividend growth investors with a long list of stocks that have increased their dividends for at least 10+ consecutive years.
These are companies with shareholder-friendly management teams committed to rewarding investors. They have an ability to do so because of sustained earnings growth.
Together, these two criteria form a powerful pair. They become even more powerful for the investor who buys high-quality dividend growth stocks when they are undervalued.
The Dividend Champions is a bigger list as it includes stocks that do not qualify as Dividend Aristocrats because of indexing or trading volume restrictions.
