About Asset Trend Reports

Asset Trend Reports is a free, no-login hub for researching U.S. Dividend Kings and Aristocrats—daily prices, yield bands, payout context, and current dividend profiles before deeper due diligence.

We cover a curated universe of U.S. dividend growth stocks across major sectors; the exact count shown on the site reflects the stocks with current market data. Kings and Aristocrats streaks are cross-checked against public filings where possible; Dividend Contenders are VIG ETF holdings minus S&P Aristocrats and do not display verified streak years on this site.

Our Methodology: History Tiers and Current Dividend Profiles

Each stock is first grouped by its Dividend King, Aristocrat or Contender history tier. Its current profile then uses yield, payout context and trailing-12-month dividend growth within that tier:

History tier: the long-term dividend increase record is used for tier context, not added to a numeric score. Contender streak lengths are not independently verified here.
Current profile: Income-led reflects higher yield within a tier; Growth-led reflects positive 1-year dividend growth of 5% or more; Balanced covers the remaining positive-growth records; Review flags a dividend decline, elevated payout context or irregular growth data. REIT payout ratios are treated as non-comparable EPS context.
Tier medians: where our articles cite a typical payout ratio for Dividend Kings or Aristocrats, it is the median across that tier on the stated snapshot date, counting only companies whose EPS-based ratio is comparable. Ratios shown as n/m (trailing GAAP earnings collapsed by a one-time charge), REIT ratios, and companies with non-positive trailing earnings are left out, because including figures the site itself marks as not meaningful would distort the benchmark.

How a current profile is assigned

1. History tier

King · Aristocrat · Contender

Provides the long-term comparison group.

2. Current inputs

Yield · payout context · 1Y DPS growth

Compared only within the same history tier.

3. Current profile

Income · Balanced · Growth · Review

A research label, not a forecast or rating.

Income-led: current yield is in the top third of its history tier.

Growth-led: 1Y dividend growth is at least 5% when the stock is not Income-led.

Balanced: positive 1Y dividend growth without either leading trait.

Review: takes priority for dividend declines, elevated non-REIT payout context, or irregular growth data.

Data pending means the snapshot lacks a comparable 12-month dividend history. REIT EPS payout ratios are shown as context but are not used as a negative profile rule.

Valuation compares current dividend yield to the stock’s 5-year historical yield average. This is relative context only—not a buy/sell recommendation.

Data Sources & Update Frequency

Market prices, dividend yields, and EPS come from publicly available APIs (Yahoo Finance and supplementary providers). Kings and Aristocrats streak counts follow our curated lists; Contender membership follows VIG holdings minus S&P Aristocrats. Data is refreshed on a best-effort daily schedule.

We do not fabricate market quotes. Where a field is unknown—especially Contender dividend streak years—we show “—” rather than an estimated number.

What We Provide

Asset Trend Reports is an independent information service that tracks U.S. Dividend Kings (50+ consecutive years of dividend growth) and Dividend Aristocrats (25+ consecutive years). We provide historical price charts, dividend yield bands, EPS trends, and dividend safety metrics — all updated daily and free of charge.

Who runs this site

Asset Trend Reports is written and maintained by a single independent operator, not an editorial team, and articles are published under the site name rather than a personal byline. The operator maintains the dividend stock database, reviews drafts against the daily market-data snapshot, and applies house style rules—mandatory disclaimers, no promotional stock pitches, and verified streak years only for Kings and Aristocrats. We do not accept paid stock promotion or undisclosed sponsorship. Editorial contact: contact@assettrendreports.com.

What is automated, and what is not

Prices, dividend yields, payout ratios, ex-dividend dates, dividend payment frequency and the most recent dividend amount are collected automatically once per day from Yahoo Finance and published as a dated snapshot. Dividend King and Aristocrat streak years are not automated: they are maintained as a curated list from public filings and index constituents. Dividend Contenders are taken from VIG ETF holdings, and because their streak length is not independently verified here, streak years are shown as "—" rather than a number. Automated bulk article generation is currently disabled; articles on this site are reviewed before publication.

Editorial & limitations

We organize, explain, and visualize data from third-party sources. We do not provide individualized investment, tax, or legal advice, and we do not know your personal financial situation. Any commentary is general in nature; always confirm material facts with official company filings, exchanges, or licensed professionals before acting.

Corrections & data errors

Market data is supplied by third parties and can be delayed, incomplete, or wrong. If you find a figure that looks incorrect, email contact@assettrendreports.com with the ticker, the page URL, and the value you expected. We correct confirmed data errors and note the change on the affected page. We do not silently overwrite source figures: when a value looks anomalous (for example a yield far above its own five-year average, often caused by a special dividend), we flag it and exclude it from rankings and averages rather than editing the number.

Independent Service

Advertising & monetization
