These ‘Dividend Aristocrat’ stocks have been raising their dividends for decades, and there have been no dividend cuts during the pandemic

The S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats — stocks of 65 companies that have increased their dividends for at least 25 years — have been solid, in that none of them have cut their payouts.

The entire S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index is down 2.4% this year, which may seem a poor showing against the 6.5% return for the broader S&P 500 Index. However, large technology companies that dominate the benchmark index have had an outsized effect on its market-capitalization-weighted performance.

So it’s no surprise that the tech-heavy S&P 500 has been outperforming the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats for many years. But if you look back 15 years, the story changes: Here are all 65 S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats, sorted by current yield, with total returns for 2020 through Aug. 21 :Despite no dividend cuts among the group this year, they are a possibility. For example, Exxon Mobil Corp. US:XOM decided in April to leave its quarterly dividend unchanged, when it traditionally raises the dividend at that time each year. Unless the company makes a move later this year, it will not longer be an Aristocrat.
