What Are Dividend Achievers?
Dividend Achievers are companies that have increased their annual dividend payments for at least 10 consecutive years (but fewer than 25 years, which would qualify them as Dividend Aristocrats). This group represents a broader set of companies that have demonstrated meaningful commitment to dividend growth over the past decade.
The term "Dividend Achievers" is commonly associated with the Nasdaq Dividend Achievers Index. Billiver is not affiliated with Nasdaq, Inc. Billiver identifies Dividend Achievers by analyzing SEC EDGAR annual filings. This category often includes mid-cap and growth-oriented companies that are building their track record of shareholder returns.
How We Identify Dividend Achievers
Billiver applies the following data-driven criteria to identify Dividend Achievers from SEC EDGAR filings:
- 1Between 10 and 24 consecutive years of annual dividend increases
- 2Dividend history verified through SEC EDGAR annual filings (10-K)
- 3Year-over-year dividend per share must show a positive increase each year
- 4Companies reaching 25+ years graduate to the Dividend Aristocrats category
Our data is sourced exclusively from SEC EDGAR filings and updated periodically. Dividend Achievers are a stepping stone toward Aristocrat status.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Dividend Achievers and Dividend Aristocrats?
Dividend Achievers have 10 to 24 consecutive years of dividend increases, while Dividend Aristocrats require 25+ years. Achievers represent companies that are building a strong dividend track record but haven't yet reached the Aristocrat threshold. Many of today's Aristocrats were once Achievers.
Why invest in Dividend Achievers instead of Dividend Aristocrats?
Dividend Achievers often include younger, faster-growing companies that may offer higher dividend growth rates and more attractive valuations compared to well-established Aristocrats. They can provide a balance of income growth potential and reasonable valuation, though with a shorter track record of reliability.
Can a Dividend Achiever become a Dividend Aristocrat?
Yes. When a Dividend Achiever reaches 25 consecutive years of dividend increases, it automatically qualifies as a Dividend Aristocrat on Billiver. This transition happens based on the latest SEC EDGAR filings showing the required number of consecutive annual increases.
What happens if a Dividend Achiever freezes its dividend?
If a company keeps its dividend flat (no increase) or cuts it, the consecutive increase streak resets and the company is removed from the Dividend Achievers list. The company would need to start building a new streak of 10+ consecutive years to regain its status.
