What it does
Returns the elite ranks of dividend-growth investing in one call: Dividend Kings (50+ consecutive years of increases), S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats (25+ years), Dividend Achievers (10+ years), and Contenders approaching Aristocrat status. Every record carries current price, market cap, yield, payout ratio, annual dividend, forward P/E, 5-year dividend growth rate, the most recent increase, the next ex-dividend date, and the headline metric: consecutive_years_of_increases.
Who it's for
Dividend-growth (DGI) retail investors, income-focused retirees, financial advisors and RIAs running client reviews, family offices laddering yield, and fintech platforms embedding DGI screens without paying for Bloomberg or FactSet seats.
