This article provides an updated list of the Dividend Champions in 2023, select financial data, and analysis. The list and data are updated monthly.
The Dividend Champions 2023 companies on US stock exchanges have raised their dividend for 25+ consecutive years. This list is a select list of only 136 companies as of March 10, 2023. This number is from nearly 6,000 companies listed on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ in 2023, indicating a success rate of approximately 2.27%.
The number of Dividend Champions goes up if we include over-the-counter (OTC) stocks. As a result, the total universe of US stocks goes up to about 11,500. Several small banks and other stocks are not traded on the NYSE or NASDAQ and are thus not included in this list. For example, Computer Services (CSVI) has raised its dividend for 50 years in a row. However, the stock is thinly traded OTC. Another example is Eagle Financial Services (EFSI), which has raised the dividend for 35 years but is also a thinly traded OTC. There are higher risks with thinly traded stocks, and we do not include them in this list.
This list is not one of the best or top Dividend Champions. Instead, it is an informational source to assist in making investment decisions. Lastly, the Dividend Champions list was first created in 2008 by David Fish (deceased in 2018). He originally started the list in the Dividend Investing Resource Center.

Difference Between Dividend Champions and Dividend Aristocrats
The Dividend Champion 2023 list is broader than the Dividend Aristocrat list. A stock must only meet the requirement for raising the dividend for 25+ years to be added to the Dividend Champions List. However, the criteria for inclusion as a Dividend Aristocrat is stricter. In addition to the 25+ years of dividend increases, a stock must be a part of the S&P 500 Index, have a minimum market capitalization of $3 billion, and meet trading volume and sector weighting requirements.
Hence, a stock can be a Dividend Champion but not a Dividend Aristocrat. Currently, there are only 65 Dividend Aristocrats as of this writing.
Difference Between Dividend Champions and Dividend Kings
The Dividend Kings are more exclusive than the Dividend Champions. A stock must raise its dividend for 50+ consecutive years to become a Dividend King, a much harder achievement. There are only 39 Dividend Kings as of this writing. However, a company can be a Dividend King, a Dividend Champion, and a Dividend Aristocrat. For instance, The Coca-Cola Company (KO) is found on all three lists.
Market Update for the Dividend Champions 2023

Dividend Champions Sector Breakdown
Companies from the Financial sector have the most significant representation on the Dividend Champions 2023 list, with 31 companies, followed by the Industrial sector, with 30 companies. The Consumer Defensive sector has 19, and Utilities has 15 Companies. The lowest representation is from the Technology and Communication Sectors, with three and two companies, respectively.
Financials tend to have stable and generally rising earnings over time. There are 18 regional banks, six insurance companies, three asset managers, and two financial data & stock exchanges on the list of Dividend Champions. Regional banks are often conservative; further, they have room to expand, allowing for earnings per share and dividend growth. Insurance and asset manager companies have sticky customers and grow with time.
Industrial companies tend to have somewhat more volatile earnings and cash flows, but many have conservative payout ratios allowing them to grow the dividends during recessions and economic downturns. There are 11 specialty industrial machinery and three conglomerates on the list.
Consumer Defensive companies tend to have predictable earnings and cash flows that grow slowly with time. Many did well during the COVID-19 pandemic. Larger companies in this sector tend to acquire smaller ones leading to industry consolidation. There are five household & personal products companies and four packaged food companies on the list, including several well-known ones.
Market Size of the Dividend Champions 2023
The list is not dominated by large-cap companies but includes quite a few mid-cap companies ($2 billion – $10 billion) and small-cap companies ($300 million – $2 billion).
The largest Dividend Champion by market capitalization is Exxon Mobil (XOM), and the smallest by market capitalization is First Financial (THFF). As mentioned before, the list does not include some small OTC stocks.
What do I like About the Dividend Champions 2023?
The Dividend Champions 2023 list is a screen for further investigating stocks for a dividend growth portfolio. It is a list of companies with stable businesses that have competitive advantages and have returned cash to shareholders consistently through dividends and, in some cases, buybacks over an extended period.
The list is not as exclusive as the Dividend Kings list. Still, 134 companies out of about 6,000 total companies on the NYSE and NASDAQ is roughly 2.23%. This percentage points to the success of these companies.
In addition, the list changes slowly. However, even during extreme economic duress, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, only a handful of companies dropped off the list each year. This fact points to the resiliency of the businesses on the Dividend Champions 2023 list and management’s commitment to the dividend.

This number includes Alerus Financial (ALRS), Brown-Forman (BF.B), Casey’s General Stores (CASY), C. H. Robinson Worldwide (CHRW), and Fastenal (FAST). These stocks will become Dividend Champions assuming they raise their dividend in 2023
