What makes a Dividend Achiever company unique?

Mergent has been highlighting companies with outstanding dividend records since 1979 and boasts a century of experience in quality financial information publishing.

To qualify as a Dividend Achiever a company must have increased their regular cash dividends annually for the past ten or more consecutive years. It is this emphasis on increasing dividends, rather than identifying just dividend-paying companies, that sets our Dividend Achievers apart. Dividend Achievers are well-managed, truly exceptional companies that have a proven track record of returning capital to shareholders.

From our Dividend Achievers list, you can put together a solid, diversified portfolio that is ideal for long-term capital appreciation and current income. Dividend Achievers companies include large cap, mid-cap, and small-cap companies, represent more than 50 different industries, from consumer goods to real estate to utilities.

Each full-page Dividend Achievers profile provides in-depth investment criteria, including a stock performance chart, dividend record, business description, seven years of financial results and ratios, analysis of recent developments and more.

The latest edition also includes variable rankings, such as ten-year average annual dividend growth rates; one-, three-, and five-year total returns; top twenty total returns on equity and assets; plus the top twenty rankings by revenue, net income, total assets, long- and short-term price scores, and highest and lowest P/E ratios.

It's all right here at your fingertips, from one of the world's most trusted and respected sources of global business and financial information for over a century.
