Dividend Kings are companies that have increased their dividends for at least 50 consecutive years. This is considered a significant achievement, as it demonstrates a company’s ability to generate consistent earnings and return value to shareholders. Some examples of current Dividend Kings include:
- 3M Co (MMM)
- Coca-Cola Co (KO)
- Procter & Gamble Co (PG)
- Walgreens Boots Alliance Inc (WBA)
- Sysco Corp (SYY)
- Johnson & Johnson (JNJ)
- W.W. Grainger, Inc. (GWW)
- Colgate-Palmolive Co (CL)
- Emerson Electric Co (EMR)
- Medtronic PLC (MDT)
It’s worth noting that the list of dividend kings can change over time as companies may cut their dividends, merge or be acquired by other companies. It’s also important to remember that dividends and performance of these and any stock can change over time and past performance does not guarantee future results. It’s also important to conduct thorough research and consult with a financial advisor before making any investment decisions.
