Why is This List Worth Your Attention
Whether you’re aiming for capital growth, serious dividend hikes, or high-yield dividends with future growth potential, the MaxDividends team’s curated list is a rock-solid foundation for your strategy.
MaxDividends List Stocks pay sustainable dividends by decades without interruption, rasing them consistently over years.
In our research, we focus on a handful of key metrics. Sure, you can do this yourself, but it’s super time-consuming and requires access to a lot of data—this is where MaxDividends comes in.
We handle the heavy lifting for you, giving you a ready-made list of 100+ companies that meet these criteria:
Sales growth over the last 10 years.
Operating profit growth for the past decade, with stable or increasing margins.
Companies have been profitable for 10 years straight—no losses.
Companies have been paying dividends for 10+ years.
They increase their dividend payouts regularly.
Dividends are paid from profits, with a safe payout ratio.
Companies haven’t cut dividends in the past decade - even during tough times.
High Return on Assets (ROA) - averaging 4+ over the last 10 years, except for financials - ensuring sustainable future growth.
These metrics help ensure you're getting a reliable business that can weather future storms, provide growing passive income through dividends, and offer market-level price appreciation over time.
You can dig into the data and find companies that fit these criteria yourself, but that’s a serious time sink. Instead, take advantage of our regularly updated list of 100+ top U.S. companies to discover ideas for your portfolio.

Key Features of the MaxDividends List
When designing the list, we aimed to keep it simple, but packed with all the essential data a dividend investor needs.
Our whole team invests in dividend stocks, and here’s what we look for when adding companies to our portfolios:
Dividend yield and dividend growth over the last 5 years
Payout ratio relative to profits, averaged over the last 5 years
Fair value compared to industry peers
We only add companies to our portfolios that are currently undervalued or fairly valued.
We also analyze earnings data in real-time, and if a company's P/E ratio is 20% below the industry average, we flag it as undervalued. If the P/E is 20% above the industry average, we mark it as overvalued.
Lastly, we calculate an overall financial score based on the key metrics I mentioned earlier. This score is derived from the company's financial performance over the last 10 years.
You could spend hours doing this analysis on your own, but why bother? Use the MaxDividends List.
