Income investors are likely familiar with the Dividend
Aristocrats, a select group of 65 stocks in the S&P 500 Index that have
increased their dividends for at least 25 consecutive years.
But there is an even bigger group of stocks that have also
raised their dividends for at least 25 years, known as the Dividend Champions.
There are nearly 150 Dividend Champions right now.
The main difference between the two groups is that the
Dividend Aristocrats are subject to additional criteria such as market
capitalization, daily trading volume, and more. In addition, the Dividend
Aristocrats must be members of the S&P 500 Index.
Therefore, there are more high-quality dividend growth
stocks to choose from among the Dividend Champions.
High-yield Dividend Champions like the 10 on this list,
could be appealing choices for investors looking to increase their income. For
example, retirees looking for replacement income could consider high-yield
Dividend Champions.
This article will discuss the top 10 high-yielding Dividend
Champions, ranked according to dividend yields in the Sure Analysis Research
Database.
Each of the high-yield Dividend Champions below has a
current yield above 5% and has increased its dividend for at least 25
consecutive years.
