S. Solid return — hefty yield and strong DividendRank characteristics;
A. Accelerating amount — consistent dividend increases over time;
F. Flawless history — never a missed or lowered dividend;
E. Enduring — at least two decades of dividend payments.
Previously, we talked a bit about our proprietary "DividendRank" algorithm, which we use screen through our coverage universe of dividend paying stocks, to find interesting candidates for further research.
