Dividend aristocrats
Companies with long, unbroken records of raising their dividend. The record is the point: it is evidence, not a promise.
This is a screen, a live list of everything that passes the test in the sidebar. For six specific names argued case by case, with the risk stated in the same breath, see the dashboard AI Picks.
Dividend yield across the top 12 matches
Look at the spread, not the ranking. If the bars are all the same length, the screen is arbitrary: one point of dividend yield separates a company that made the list from one that did not, and the cut is doing more work than the data supports. A long tail means the top few are genuinely exceptional and the rest merely qualified.
What this screen is really buying
The matches are spread across sectors, which means the screen is selecting on the characteristic it claims to and not accidentally on an industry.
