The Dividend Contenders 2020 are stocks that that have grown their dividend for 10 to 24 consecutive years. Although this does not seem difficult it is a relatively small list of only 279 companies as of November 30, 2020. This is out of the over 4,300 companies listed on stock exchanges at end of 2018. So getting on to the Dividend Contenders 2020 list is no a small feat. These companies may not have grown revenue and earnings per share every year, but they annually raised the dividend without fail.
Some of the Dividend Contenders 2020 will become Dividend Champions and a few will become Dividend Kings. But some companies will also drop off the Dividend Contenders 2020 list since they cannot sustain the dividend during time of economic distress, e.g. coronavirus pandemic.

Some Details on the Dividend Contenders 2020
Companies from the Financial Sector have the greatest representation on the Dividend Contenders 2020 list with 80 companies. This is followed by Industrials with 43 companies, Utilities with 28 companies, and Materials with 21 companies. The top three did not change from earlier this year. But the materials sector moved into the No. 4 spot since the Consumer Discretionary sector had many companies that suspended or cut their dividends.
Financials tend to have stable and generally rising earnings over time with the exception of recessions. Many financial companies cut, froze, or suspended the dividend during the Great Recession. But many also restarted dividend growth as soon as the recovery began and thus, they are now at about 10 years of consecutive dividend increases. Industrial companies tend 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 same generality applies to companies in the consumer discretionary sector. On the other hand, utilities tend to have stable and regular cash flow and earnings over long periods of time.
There are new members to the Dividend Contenders 2020 list from when I last updated this list. These are companies that have raised the dividend for only 10 straight years. Please take a look at the list below.
The largest of the Dividend Contenders 2020 by market capitalization is Microsoft Corporation (MSFT), the software behemoth, which has raised the dividend for 19 straight years. Microsoft will likely become a Dividend Aristocrat and Dividend Champion. There are a few companies on the Dividend Contenders 2020 list with market capitalizations less than $100M including Haverty Furniture Companies (HVT-A), Donegal Group (DGICB), and Acme United Corp (ACU). Investors should wary when investing in companies with such small market capitalization due to the associated risks.
The Dividend Contenders 2020 list serves as a screen for further investigating a stock for a dividend growth portfolio. The Dividend Contenders 2020 are companies with stable businesses that have competitive advantages and have returned cash to shareholders consistently through dividends and in some cases buybacks.
