How this list is built
- At least 25 consecutive calendar years in which the total dividend per share was higher than the year before
- Counted from the company's dividend history; special one-time dividends are excluded
- Any market cap, any US exchange
- Sorted by years of dividend growth
A long record of dividend increases is a sign that a company has kept earning enough cash to pay shareholders more through recessions and market crashes. The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats index uses the same 25-year test but only includes S&P 500 members; this list includes every US-listed stock that meets it.
Years of growth are counted from each company's dividend payment history: a year counts when its total regular dividend per share was higher than the previous year's. Years with an extra or missing payment are adjusted so that a timing change does not look like a cut. Companies that keep the dividend flat for a year lose their streak.

Dividend Champions FAQ
How many stocks have raised dividends for 25 years?
As of October 26, 2026, 112 US-listed stocks had increased their dividend for 25 or more consecutive years.
Which companies have the longest dividend growth streaks?
The longest streaks belonged to Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), 55 years; The Coca-Cola Company (KO), 55 years; PepsiCo, Inc. (PEP), 53 years; Emerson Electric Co. (EMR), 53 years and Walmart Inc. (WMT), 52 years.
What is the difference between Dividend Champions, Aristocrats and Kings?
Dividend Aristocrats are S&P 500 members with 25+ years of increases (an index run by S&P Dow Jones Indices). Dividend Champions is a broader label for any US stock with 25+ years. Dividend Kings have raised their dividend for 50 years or more; 6 stocks in this list qualify.
What is the average dividend yield of these stocks?
The median dividend yield in this list was 2.56%. A long streak does not always mean a high yield: many champions pay a modest yield but raise it steadily.
What is a payout ratio?
The payout ratio is the share of a company's earnings paid out as dividends. A ratio well above 100% means the dividend is larger than earnings, which can be hard to sustain unless earnings recover.
