Dividend Lists
Dividend Champions List 2026
All U.S.-listed companies with 25 or more consecutive years of dividend increases — not just S&P 500 members.
Updated June 2026 · 124 companies
What are Dividend Champions?
Dividend Champions are all U.S.-listed companies with at least 25 consecutive years of dividend increases, regardless of S&P 500 membership. The category comes from the widely followed “Dividend Champions, Contenders & Challengers” (CCC) data set and is broader than the Aristocrats index — it includes mid-cap and smaller names that meet the 25-year bar but sit outside the S&P 500. It is the most comprehensive view of long-streak U.S. dividend growers.

Frequently asked questions
How many Dividend Champions are on this list?
This page tracks 124 Dividend Champions with live market data, sorted by the length of their consecutive dividend-increase streak.
What is the average yield of the Dividend Champions?
The average dividend yield across the 124 companies on this list is 2.56%.
How often is this list updated?
Membership is curated from public dividend-streak data; yields, prices, and market caps refresh from our data pipeline. Last updated June 2026.
What is a Dividend Champion?
A Dividend Champion is any U.S.-listed company that has increased its dividend for at least 25 consecutive years. Unlike Dividend Aristocrats, Champions do not need to be in the S&P 500, so the list is broader and includes mid- and small-cap names.
Champions vs. Contenders vs. Challengers — what's the difference?
They are tiers of the same CCC data set by streak length: Champions have 25+ years, Contenders 10–24 years, and Challengers 5–9 years. This page covers the Champions (25+ year) tier.
Are Dividend Kings included in the Champions list?
Yes. A Dividend King (50+ years) automatically satisfies the 25-year Champion requirement, so all Kings appear here too, at the top of the streak ranking.
How is this list maintained?
The CCC data set is community-maintained and updated monthly. This page reflects the 124 Champions we currently match to live market data.
