Dividend Achievers and Challengers By Dividend Yields - Stock, Capital, Investment. The dividend achievers index contains stocks which have increased their annual dividends for at least ten or more consecutive years.
One of my favorite Bloggers (Dividend Growth Investor) researched four companies which have raised dividends for over five years in a row (Dividend Challengers), which also announced that their Boards have approved dividend hikes over the past week. In five years, they could become Dividend Achievers:
