The Highest-Quality Dividend Challengers By Quality Scores

The article presents the highest-quality Dividend Contenders, companies
listed on U.S. exchanges with higher annual dividend payouts for 10-24
consecutive years.

It is the third of three articles covering the
highest-quality Dividend Champions, Contenders, and Challengers by Quality
Scores.

I use a quality scoring system with six quality indicators, each worth five
points, for a maximum score of 30. The highest-quality Dividend Challengers score four or five points for each quality indicator.
