Dividend aristocrats, as defined by Standard and Poor’s, are stocks that meet certain size and liquidity standards that “have followed a policy of consistently increasing dividends every year for at least five years.”
That's a much easier rule to fulfill compared the US Dividend Aristocrats Index for which you need a 25 year consecutive dividend hike.
Today I like to share a sample of 16 S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats with you, a premier group of Canadian stocks that have increased their cash dividends for at least five consecutive years.
Below is the list for 2016 sorted by dividend yield. If you like to receive more dividend yield tables of the best long-term dividend raiser, you should subscribe to my blog news by following the link, it's completely free and independent. Thank you for reading.
