Methodology & Data Sources
The "5-Year" Rule: Unlike the United States where "Dividend Aristocrat" status requires 25 consecutive years of increases, the S&P/TSX Canadian Dividend Aristocrats index only requires 5 consecutive years. This list filters specifically for large-cap Canadian stocks meeting or exceeding this 5-year minimum streak.
Data Sources: Financial metrics, yields, and historical dividend payout data are sourced dynamically via the Yahoo Finance API. Streaks are calculated by analyzing annual cash dividends paid over the trailing history.
Null Values: If a 5-year CAGR or payout ratio cannot be reliably calculated due to missing historical data or negative earnings, it is displayed as "N/A" rather than fabricating a zero value.
