Dividend Aristocrats Dividend Safety Score

About

Our Dividend Score (SDS) system is designed to help dividend investors, to identify strong companies with a sustainable dividend and avoid companies that could be riskier to invest in. The Dividend Score System takes into account several fundamental and price-performance metrics that affect a company’s ability to continue paying dividends and its overall return.

Some of the criteria analyze are:

• Business model and growth perspective
• Dividend Yield & Payout ratios
• Cash flow & Debt ratio

The SDS scores range from 0 to 100. Of course, there are no guarantees when it comes to investing, but if a dividend stock scores over 60, it is an indication that the quality and the sustainability of the dividend are probably okay.

Below are all dividend aristocrats sorted on their Dividend Score (0-100).
