Best Dividend Stocks - Dividend Ladder

This is our list of the 50 best dividend stocks based on our proprietary Historical Performance Rating (HPR). This rating consists of the values listed in the table below excluding the P/E ratio. More weight is given to dividend yield and dividend growth than to payout ratio, free cash flow yield, income growth and 12 month performance. REITs, MLPs and Trusts are excluded from this list. A stock must yield 2% or more to qualify for consideration.
