What is a Dividend King?

A Dividend King has increased its dividend for at least 50 consecutive years, regardless of size or index membership. The 50-year record makes Kings one of the most defensible dividend cohorts.

How are Dividend Kings different from Aristocrats?

Aristocrats need S&P 500 membership and a 25-year streak. Kings need a 50-year streak but no index membership, so the list is pure data with no trademark dependency.
