Dividend Champions: Best of the Top 10s

Over several posts in February and March, I sorted out the Top 10 Dividend Champions as of January 31, 2019, into the following categories:

•      Longest Record of Dividend Growth
•      Highest Dividend Yield
•      Best 10-year Dividend Growth Rate
•     Best Price-to-Earnings Ratios
•     Best Price-to-Book Ratios
•     Lowest Payout Ratio

Since those qualities are important to value investors and Dividend Farmers, I decided to cross-reference the lists to see how many firms are on multiple Top 10s.  It turns out there are several.  The 10 Dividend Champions found on multiple lists are shown below in no particular order along with their rank on the lists they made.

Dividend Champions Best of Top 10 Lists

Despite the fact it’s March and we’re still seeing sub-zero temperatures with plenty of snow, it’s never too early to think about dividend farming.  A list like the one above might be a good place to start investigating ground into which to plant your seed money as you expand your Dividend Farm.
