Dividend
stocks – both at home and abroad – with long track records of rock-solid rising
payments tend to generate superior returns over long periods of time and can
help investors weather shorter periods of market turbulence.
We had one
new addition to the list in 2018, which brought the number of companies to 26.
This is a record since we started tracking the list of dividend kings in 2010.
When I first came up with the idea for the list of dividend kings in 2010,
there were only eleven companies on it. While our 2018 list also included 26
companies, I had to remove Target for now, since its streak of annual dividend
increases was only 48 years. I am pretty confident that the retailer will hit
50 years in a row by the end of the decade.
