Data Sources/Discrepancies
As mentioned above, the dividend streaks are generally specified by the companies themselves. In some cases, however, there
were differences between the length of the streak shown by outside sources and what was stated in company literature. Usually,
the company's claim is shown, when it appears reasonable. For example, one source showed that Vectren had increased its
dividend for 31 straight years, but the company stated that its latest increase marked "the 48th consecutive year that Vectren and
its predecessor companies have increased annual dividends paid." In addition to not taking into account records of predecessor
companies, some sources appear to curtail streaks because of a lack of clear data as much as 25 years ago. Other issues:
Rounding errors can make it appear that a company did not raise its dividend, especially in the distant past. For example,
an adjusted payout of .012275, increased to .012325, could appear unchanged if both were rounded to .0123 by the data provider.
Splits/Stock Dividends may not always result in accurate adjustment of prior dividends. This is especially true if the split were
at a ratio of 6-for-5 or higher, or if a stock dividend of 5% or less was paid. In some cases, a firm states that it is "maintaining"
a dividend rate following a stock dividend, but that, in fact, is an increase. So, for example, a company may start the year paying a
rate of 10¢/share and finish the year by paying 10¢/share, but a 5% stock dividend adjusts the first figure to 9.6¢/share.
Special Dividends might cause some sources to drop a company from a listing such as this one. For example, if a firm
actually increases its annual dividend from 30¢ to 40¢ per share, but paid a special (or "extra") dividend of $1 in the first year, then
it could appear that it had reduced its payout from $1.30 to 40¢ per share, thus ending its streak. However, I don't think that such a
company should be penalized for making an extra payout, so these special dividends are generally factored out for this listing.
Column Headings
No. Yrs represents the number of consecutive years of higher dividends. An adjacent column orders all listed
companies in sequence, from longest (#1) to shortest streak, running from Champions to Contenders to Challengers.
DRIP Fees indicates whether a company offers a Dividend Reinvestment Plan (DRIP) that also allows enrollees
to invest additional cash on a voluntary, periodic basis. The vast majority of these companies offer these plans, also known as
Direct Investment Plans, but many have recently added fees, so potential participants should carefully check the features before
enrolling. Complete information about all available DRIPs can be found at www.directinvesting.com.

Enrollment Service, which facilitates DRIP enrollment. This is not meant as a sales pitch!
Dividend Information is the information associated with the most recent increase, not necessarily the most recent dividend.
Most recent increase dates older than one year are highlighted in Red.
Most recent Increases expected to be replaced in next 1-2 months are highlighted in Green.
Quarterly Schedule shows estimated Pay Dates, where A=Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct, B=Feb/May/Aug/Nov, C=Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec.
Annual Dividend projects the "new" (current) rate to a full-year amount
Payout % Ratio calculates the annual dividend as a percentage of trailing twelve months earnings per share
+/-% vs. Graham calculates the premium or discount that the current price represents, compared with the "Graham
number," which is an estimation of "fair value" or what Benjamin Graham said would be the most an investor should pay for a
share of the company's stock. Since he believed that a reasonable price/earnings ratio was 15 and a reasonable price/book
value ratio would be 1.5, the formula for the "Graham number" is the square root of (22.5 times the earnings per share times the
book value per share). Book value per share is derived by dividing the Price/Book Value ratio in column Z into the current price
in column H. The actual Graham number is not shown, but is divided into the current price in order to produce a premium or
discount percentage, compared with the Graham number.
TTM P/E shows the price/earnings ratio using trailing twelve months earnings divided into current price
TTM EPS shows earnings per share for the most recently reported trailing twelve months
PEG Ratio shows the price/earnings ratio divided by 5-year estimates growth rate
TTM P/Sales shows the price divided by the trailing twelve months' sales
MRQ P/Book shows the price divided by the most recent quarter's book value per share
TY% Growth shows the percentage change of this year's earnings estimate compared with last year's EPS
NY% Growth shows the percentage change of next year's earnings estimate compared with this year's estimate
Est 5-yr Growth shows the estimated annual EPS Growth for the next five years
NA shows the Number of Analysts covering the company
MktCap ($Mil) shows the market value in millions of dollars of all outstanding shares at the current price
Beta compares a stock's volatility with that of the overall market (S&P 500=1.00)
% from 52-week low/high these columns show the percentage that the current price varies from the 52-week range of the stock
% from 50-, 200-day MMA these columns show the percentage the current price varies from the 50- and 200-day Moving Average
5/10 A/D is a calculation of the acceleration or deceleration of the 5-year vs. the 10-year DGR
DGR (or Dividend Growth Rate) is the compound annual growth rate of the dividend for the periods shown
Mean (simple average) is the "modified" average of the individual year's increases over the prior year. The averages include
some companies whose average has been "modified" to exclude divisions by zero or negative actions (reductions) since those
calculations would pre-date the companies' current streaks of increases.
Standard Deviation expresses the degree by which the individual year's increases vary from the Mean, or simple average,
showing how erratic (high number) or "smooth" (low number) that the annual increases have been.
Tweed Factor Named after "Seeking Alpha" author Norman Tweed, this is a "quick-and-dirty" method of comparing
the combination of a stock's dividend yield and dividend growth rate (DGR) to its price/earnings ratio. Although this is somewhat
of an "apples-to-oranges" comparison, it builds in a margin of safety when determining a stock's fair value. The Tweed Factor is
part of the "Tweed Model," which also requires (per Mr. Tweed) a 4% yield and a "reasonable" payout ratio. (See Payout % Ratio
above.) Other investors may set a lower yield threshold than 4%, often in conjunction with age and years remaining to invest. The
more positive the Tweed Factor is, the better, as it expresses the excess of the dividend data over price level.
Confidence Factor (See Appendix A below)
Dividend Growth Model (Next Five Years) Dividends based on growth from latest completed year of dividends paid, using Next
Year and 5-year Earnings Per Share Estimates. (If either is "n/a," then a 3% dividend growth rate is used; if either is negative, then
a 1% dividend growth rate is used; if either is greater than 10%, then a 10% dividend growth rate is used. The total estimated
dividends per share for the next five years is also shown, and that total is translated into a percentage "payback," based on the
current share price. Disclaimer: Past Performance is No Guarantee of Future Results.
Acknowledements/Updates
I'd like to thank Motley Fool poster Bruce Doe, whose listing was the starting point for this compilation. Also, thanks to Moneypaper
reader Jacob Geller, who brought attention to RPM International's claim to be one of 70 companies to have increased its
dividend for at least 34 straight years. Many thanks to Publisher Vita Nelson, who has made Moneypaper's DRIP database info
available to the general public. Also, thanks to "Seeking Alpha" Contributors Dividends4Life, Dividend Growth Investor, David Van
Knapp, Robert Allan Schwartz, Norman Tweed, Chuck Carnevale, Five Plus Investor, David Crosetti, and others (a growing list!)
for their valuable info and assistance. And finally, thanks to George L. Smyth for running the non-profit message boards at
www.dripinvesting.org, where I hope to post this spreadsheet and a related PDF file (for those who can't use the spreadsheet).
Hopefully, it can continue to be updated on a monthly basis there. Please post comments/questions on its U.S. DRIPs board or
