Takeaway

Large-cap dividend growers with real streaks

This screen isolates US large caps (market cap above $10B) that have raised their dividend for at least 10 consecutive years, still carry a positive yield, and keep the payout ratio under 60% — a discipline filter that screens out dividend names whose distributions outrun their earnings.

What stands out

• Financials dominate the top of the yield ranking. Regional banks (TFC, KEY, HBAN, RF) and insurers (PRU) offer yields around 3–4.5% because their share prices have lagged the broader market, not because the payouts are stretched — several run well below the 60% cap. That is the classic setup for a high starting yield with room to grow.
• Utilities and staples anchor the longest streaks. Names like American Water, Consolidated Edison, Sysco and PPG pair modest yields with multi-decade records of increases, making them the higher-quality, lower-volatility end of the list.
• Streaks are a governance signal. A 50-year-plus record (PPG, LOW, ED, ITW, EMR, MMM) implies management teams that prioritize the dividend through cycles, which tends to coincide with conservative balance sheets.

Risks and caveats

• A long streak is backward-looking; a rising payout ratio or deteriorating free cash flow can precede a freeze or cut (telecom and mature software names merit extra scrutiny here).
• High-yield financials are levered to credit conditions and the rate path — a weaker economy would pressure both earnings and the payout.
• The 5Y dividend growth column separates true growers from slow-and-steady names; a low growth rate next to a high yield can signal a maturing business.

Sort is by dividend yield, descending. Use the growth and payout columns to distinguish sustainable income from yield traps.
