Ticker Safety Rating Pays in Rate → Yield 5-yr div growth Yield + growth Mkt cap Industry

Quarterly is the default schedule for U.S. dividend stocks, so a list of every quarterly payer would run to well over a thousand names. This one keeps only the ones with a record worth trusting: raised every year for at least 10 years, no cut in the last five, a steady regular rate. Then it ranks them by yield plus 5-year dividend growth, so a 2% yield growing 12% a year is weighed fairly against a 5% yield growing 2%.

Every row also shows the months it pays in. Quarterly payers stick to one of three cycles, and owning names from all three is how a lot of dividend investors turn quarterly checks into a steady monthly paycheck.

Which Months This List Pays In
Every quarterly payer sticks to one of three cycles. Owning names from all three spreads your payouts across all 12 months, the simplest fix for lumpy quarters.

How This List Is Ranked

Ranking quarterly payers by yield alone pushes the riskiest names to the top. This list ranks by yield plus 5-year dividend growth, a rule of thumb many dividend-growth investors call the Chowder number. A score around 12 or higher has long been their bar for a stock worth a look. It rewards a balance: a fat yield with no growth and a fast grower with a token yield both score lower than a solid yield that keeps rising.

Before ranking, every stock had to pass three checks: at least 10 straight years of higher yearly dividends, no yearly cut in the last five, and a steady regular rate today. Of 1,430 quarterly payers checked, these are the top 100.

Turning Quarterly Checks Into a Monthly Paycheck

Quarterly payers stick to one of three schedules: January, April, July and October; February, May, August and November; or March, June, September and December. Hold names from all three and something arrives every month. 34 stocks on this list pay in the Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct cycle, 22 in Feb/May/Aug/Nov and 38 in Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec, so every cycle has choices.

The months shown are pay months from each company’s last four payments. To see a mix month by month, use the dividend cashflow calculator. If a monthly payout matters more than the record, see the monthly dividend stocks.

What a 10-Year Record Does and Doesn’t Tell You

Ten years of raises means the board kept the dividend growing through 2020 and the rate shock that followed. It is a record of past decisions, not a promise. The longest records of all are on the Dividend Aristocrats (25+ years) and Dividend Kings (50+ years) lists.

Questions About Quarterly Dividend Stocks

Why do most stocks pay dividends quarterly?

It is the U.S. custom: boards review the dividend alongside quarterly earnings, so most companies declare and pay four times a year. Monthly and semiannual payers are the exceptions.

How can I get paid every month with quarterly dividend stocks?

Quarterly payers follow one of three cycles (Jan/Apr/Jul/Oct, Feb/May/Aug/Nov, Mar/Jun/Sep/Dec). Owning at least one strong payer from each cycle puts a payment in every month. The Pays in column shows the cycle for every stock on this list.

What does yield plus growth mean?

It is today’s yield plus the 5-year dividend growth rate, a rule of thumb many dividend-growth investors call the Chowder number. A score of 12 or more is the usual bar. It weighs a modest yield that grows fast fairly against a high yield that barely grows.

Why isn’t a famous high yielder on this list?

Every stock here needs 10 or more straight years of higher yearly dividends, no cut in the last five years and a steady regular rate. Many high yielders fail one of those checks. They are on the high dividend stocks page, with the caution flags that explain why.

How often is this list updated?

It is rebuilt from our price and dividend records at least every hour. Prices refresh each trading day and dividend rates update as new payments are recorded.

How this list is built: U.S. stocks worth at least $250 million that pay quarterly, with 10+ straight years of higher yearly dividends (full calendar years, split-adjusted, specials removed), no yearly cut in the last five years and no rate cut in the past year, ranked by yield plus 5-year dividend growth (2020–2025), top 100. Pay months come from the last four payment dates. Yield = the latest regular dividend per share × payouts per year ÷ last close (never a trailing 12-month figure; specials are left out of the rate). 1-yr price = change in the split-adjusted close over 365 days; 1-yr total return adds every payout over those 365 days to the price change, without reinvesting. Rate change compares the yearly run rate now with the regular rate in force 13 months ago. U.S. exchanges only; dead and delisted tickers, preferred shares, notes and mutual funds are left out, and a company with two share classes is listed once. Prices, market caps and dividend history come from DRIPCALC’s price and dividend database; prices as of Nov 10, 2026. This is data, not investment advice.
