Dividend Growth Strategy
Investing in companies that consistently raise dividends often outperforms the broader market while providing growing passive income.
In the US market, companies that consistently share their profits with shareholders are categorized by their "streak" of consecutive annual dividend increases.
The most elite tier. Companies that have increased their dividend for **50 or more consecutive years**. This requires surviving multiple recessions and market crashes without cutting the payout.
Members of the S&P 500 that have increased dividends for at least **25 consecutive years**. These companies are often viewed as pillars of stability and reliable wealth generators.
The payout ratio measures the percentage of earnings a company pays out as dividends. A ratio above 75-80% can be a "red flag," suggesting the dividend might be unsustainable if earnings drop. Conservative dividend investors typically look for ratios below 60%.
