We track 1,128 dividend-paying stocks and 48 dividend ETFs. 46 of the stocks have raised their dividend for 50 years or more (Dividend Kings) and 144 for at least 25. 36 of the 46 Kings show neither of our two warning signs (paying out more than they earn, or dividend growth under 2% a year over five years); 6 pay out more than they earn. In September 2026, 73 companies paid a higher regular dividend than the comparable earlier payment and 3 a lower one; 12 paid a special dividend. The median increase was 6.9%.
