The list of Dividend Aristocrats 2022 are US stocks that have increased their dividend for 25+ years in a row. However, that one fact alone does not qualify a stock as a Dividend Aristocrat. To be included on the list, a company must meet four criteria:
- Be a member of the S&P 500 Index
- Have raised the regular dividend per share for at least 25 consecutive years
- Have a market capitalization of at least $3 billion
- Average at least $5 million in daily share trading value for the three months before the rebalancing date
- A minimum number of constituents must be 40 at each rebalancing date. In addition, a particular Global Industry Classification Standard or ‘GICS’ should not result in one sector comprising more than 30% of the index weight.
The Index is updated quarterly in January, April, July, and October.
Difference Between Dividend Champions and Aristocrats
For this reason, a Dividend Aristocrat can also be a Dividend Champion but not vice-versa. For instance, Arrow Financial (AROW) does not meet all the criteria listed above; thus, it is not a Dividend Aristocrat. However, Arrow has raised the dividend for 28 years permitting it to be on the Dividend Champion list. Hence, there are more Dividend Champions than Dividend Aristocrats. These stocks can be found in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index. There are currently 64 stocks in the Dividend Aristocrats as of November 30, 2022.

Some Details on the Dividend Aristocrats 2022
The Dividend Aristocrats 2022 is a reasonably select list since there are only 64 companies. This number is out of nearly 6,000 companies listed on New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) and NASDAQ in 2022, indicating a success rate of approximately 1.1%.
Dividend Aristocrats Sector Breakdown
The sector with high representation on the Dividend Aristocrats 2022 is Consumer Staples at approximately 22.7%. This point is likely due to these stocks’ relatively stable earnings and cash flow characteristics. In addition, these companies tend to slowly grow earnings over time, permitting annual dividend increases.
Stocks from the Industrials sector have the second-highest representation on the Dividend Aristocrats 2022 at about 19.6%. This class of stocks tends to have somewhat more volatile earnings and cash flows, but many have low payout ratios letting them grow the dividends during recessions and economic downturns.
The third sector on the list is the Materials sector at 11.8%. These companies are similar to Industrial stocks in that they are usually volatile but have low payout ratios.
Combined, these three sectors make up the majority of the Dividend Aristocrats at 52.9%.
Only Three REITs
There are only three Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) in the Dividend Aristocrats 2022. These are Essex Property Trust (ESS), Federal Realty Investment Trust (FRT), and Realty Income (O). In addition, the list does not include any Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs).
Sector Breakdown
The sector breakdown for the Dividend Aristocrats 2022 is seen in the chart below. The sector composition has changed with time due to the S&P 500 Index composition changes. In addition, the Great Recession caused many previous Dividend Aristocrats to freeze or even cut their dividends. As a result, these primarily financial stocks were dropped from the list of Dividend Aristocrats affecting the sector composition.
A few industrial stocks were also dropped from the list at the time. In fact, between 2009 and 2010, nineteen companies were dropped from the list of Dividend Aristocrats.
The sector ranking for the Dividend Aristocrats 2022 is unlike the Canadian Dividend Aristocrats, which have Financials, Energy, and Real Estate as the top three sectors.
It is also unlike the UK High Yield Dividend Aristocrats that has Financials, Industrials, and Consumer Staples as the top three sectors.
Dividend Aristocrat Sector Weighting as Function of Time
The sector weight as a function of time is seen in the chart below. One can see the drop-off in the percentage of Financials stocks during the Great Recession.
The percentage of utility stocks also dropped off during this time, which may be surprising to some. But one must remember that most utilities have high payout ratios, and many entered the unregulated market before the Great Recession. The economic downturn pressured revenue and earnings leading to dividend cuts for some utilities.
The other interesting point is that Consumers Staples and Industrials sector percentages are growing with time since the end of 2005. Today, they constitute about 41.1% of the Dividend Aristocrats 2022.
Market Size of the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats 2022
The largest Dividend Aristocrat by market capitalization is Johnson & Johnson (JNJ), with roughly $463.6 billion market capitalization. The smallest Dividend Aristocrat is Pentair (PNR), with a $7.5 billion market capitalization. Combined, the 64 Dividend Aristocrats have a total market capitalization of over $5.7 trillion.
The one with the highest forward yield is V.F. Corporation (VFC), and the one with the lowest dividend yield is West Pharmaceuticals (WST).
Dover Corp (DOV), Procter & Gamble (PG), and Genuine Parts Company (GPC)are the Dividend Aristocrats with the longest streak of consecutively increasing the dividend at 66 years.

If anyone ever asks me about dividend investing I always point them to the aristocrats list as a starting point for selecting stocks. I think it’s a great list for anyone looking to build a dividend growth portfolio. Of course, there are many other great stocks to choose from when it comes to dividends but this list should be looked at first. That’s how I started building out my portfolio.
Agreed! The Dividend Aristocrats are a great place to start.
