| Notes: For complete tables of Dividend Aristocrats data used in this analysis, see the working spreadsheet. All returns are annualized using the close for the last trading day of 1997 and 2007. The dividend yield is the average of the yield for the last day of 1997 and 2007. All 10-year annualized returns and dividend yields have been adjusted for inflation so they represent real values. | |||||
The top seven are utilities (water, electric and natural gas), all of
which have dividend yields greater than four percent. But their dividend
growth is low, in some cases even negative when adjusted for inflation.
On the other hand, McDonalds is growing its dividend at a very high rate.
