Who has paid, and who has raised.
Two countable facts for every company in the universe, over the 11 complete calendar years from 2015 to 2025. Neither is a rating, and a long record is not a reason to buy.
An unbroken record across all 11 complete years. Common — rather more common than most people expect.
Raised the per-share amount in at least four of every five year-on-year steps. Rare — and a different claim from the one beside it.
Of the unbroken payers, those paying more in 2025 than in 2015. End to end only — it says nothing about the path.
Not a criticism. A company reinvesting everything it earns is making a different choice, not a worse one.

How this is counted. Calendar years, not fiscal years, because an ex-date is a fact about a day. Only complete years are counted: the record begins part-way through 2014, so 2015 is the first whole one, and 2026 is still in progress — it is never allowed to break a streak, because a company that pays in November has not stopped paying in March. A year with several payments is summed. “Years raised” counts the year-on-year steps where the total went up, so it can never exceed 10.
What it does not tell you. Whether the dividend was covered by earnings, whether it was funded by borrowing, or whether the business behind it grew — a company can pay an unbroken dividend for a decade while shrinking. Coverage needs reported profit, which this platform currently holds for four fiscal years only. The ordering above is by record length; it is not a ranking by quality and nothing here is a recommendation.
