It's never easy being a retail investor trying to dig through the mountains of information searching for a deal. We don't have a staff to read every company's financial reports and comb through their balance sheets. Well, fear not, I have done a bit of the heavy lifting to (hopefully) find some diamonds in the rough! This is my list of Canadian Dividend Kings.

  1. Thank you for the list; a great reference. One comment about the chart: For those of us who like to print good information, the dark red font color does not print as clearly as black would.

    A very experienced investor I know uses this sort: In the following order, sorted for (1) dividend streak >/=8 years, (2) dividend yield >2.8%,  (3) 1-Yr, 3-Yr, and 5-Yr DGR >/=5.0% and (4) by the latest dividend increase >/=5.0%. I’m just sharing this information as food for thought, and would appreciate your comments.

    1. Thanks for the heads up on the dark red font. I will look into that in the morning.

      The way I personally would rank them is follow the Graham number to decide what the highest intrinsic value is and then research why the stock is trading so cheap.

    1. For the majority of people I would suggest a couch potato portfolio of ETF’s that require very little research or work. I personally enjoy digging through numbers 🙂

      Thanks for reading Jay

    1. Thanks for reading Jay,

      I’m working on my US list now and hope to put these out once a month once I get used to coding table press.

    1. Np Tristan . I plan on updating them for both markets every month. I use this list to find stocks and then dig deeper to see why they are cheap. There is usually a reason.

    1. My pleasure MrSLM.
      I use this screen to start me research. I also look at other stuff like current ratio and growth but this is a good starting point. Thanks for reading

    1. Bank stocks have always been a cornerstone of the TSX.
      It’s hard to get away from them but they do look attractive when you compare them to Canadian bonds.
