Dividends have long been an important part of investment strategies. To better understand the fundamental factors that contribute to corporate dividend actions, Reality Shares Advisors researched a wide range of financial quality factors to develop a systematic method to predict dividend increases and cuts. The result is DIVCON, a dividend health rating system designed to forecast whether dividend-paying companies are likely to increase or decrease their dividends within 12 months. This white paper further analyzes the share price performance of the companies with the healthiest dividend ratings relative to the performance of the lowest-rated companies under the DIVCON methodology in an effort to compare their performance relative to each other and the broader market.
