Dividend Lists
Dividend Kings List 2026
U.S. companies that have raised their dividend for 50 or more consecutive years — the most elite tier of dividend reliability.
Updated June 2026 · 52 companies
What are Dividend Kings?
Dividend Kings are the longest-tenured dividend growers in the U.S. market: companies that have increased their payout every single year for at least half a century. Surviving five decades of recessions, rate cycles, and industry disruption while still raising the dividend signals exceptional balance-sheet durability and shareholder commitment. Every Dividend King is also a Dividend Aristocrat and Dividend Champion — but only a few dozen companies clear the 50-year bar.

A Dividend King is a U.S. company that has increased its dividend for at least 50 consecutive years. It is the most demanding of the common dividend-streak categories — stricter than the 25-year Dividend Aristocrats and Champions.
How many Dividend Kings are there?
Membership changes slowly as companies cross the 50-year mark or break their streak. This page lists the 52 Dividend Kings we currently track with live market data.
Are all Dividend Kings also Dividend Aristocrats?
Every Dividend King has a 50+ year streak, so they all clear the 25-year Aristocrat threshold. However, an Aristocrat must also be a current S&P 500 member, so a handful of smaller Kings are not technically Aristocrats despite their longer streaks.
Is there an ETF that holds only Dividend Kings?
There is no large, pure 50-year ETF, but funds like the Roundhill S&P Dividend Monarchs ETF (KNGZ) target very long-tenured growers, and broad dividend-growth funds such as SCHD hold many Kings alongside other quality payers.
