What are Dividend Aristocrats?

Dividend Aristocrats are firms with a track record of increasing shareholder payouts for at least 25 consecutive years. They should be distinguished from Dividend Kings which have a 50 year track record.

Most Aristocrats are large-cap blue-chip companies with long histories of profitability and growth, consistent earnings, and strong balance sheets.
