Complete analysis of 2017 Dividend Aristocrats

There are 51 com­pa­nies which have increased their div­i­dends for 25 or more con­sec­u­tive years.

As you know, I love these com­pa­nies because I find it valu­able to mea­sure the “pay­check” they deliv­er (through div­i­dends) and the “raise” they deliv­er through div­i­dend increas­es (help­ing to beat infla­tion AND help­ing invest­ing be fun).

Ben Reynolds over at Sure Dividend (to which I am a sub­scriber) has just fin­ished his annu­al (and free) analy­sis of each div­i­dend aris­to­crat. You can find the list of all his reviews here. I sug­gest that if you’re con­sid­er­ing adding to your port­fo­lio with any new year’s res­o­lu­tions that you read Sure Dividend’s free analy­sis before you do.
