Full List of Dividend Achievers

The following list shows the companies in the Invesco Dividend Achievers ETF, which is based on the NASDAQ US Broad Dividend Achievers. Companies in this list have consistently increased their dividend payouts for 10 or more consecutive years.

Why should investors care about rising dividends? NASDAQ explains:

• Companies that pay regular dividends tend to be in better financial health and produce sustained earnings and revenue growth.
• Dividends help identify well-managed companies; every dividend declaration represents a promise by management and a vote of confidence by the board of directors in the company’s leadership.
• Companies that consistently raise their dividend payouts also raise the bar on their own performance expectations.
• Shares of dividend-paying companies possess built-in value that makes them generally more resilient in down markets, with solid appreciation potential during earnings-driven market upturns — with less price volatility.

I’ll add to this. I look at investing as a way to generate passive income. If that income grows over time, all the better.
