Many investors dream of passive income. The financial market makes it possible to obtain the so-called passive income and live on dividends. On the US market there are so-called dividend aristocrats. To get such status, the company must fulfill a number of extremely complex requirements:
- have a capitalization of more than $ 3 billion;
- be liquid;
- At least 25 years to increase the size of dividend payments.
- Increase the percentage of dividends or not cut them.
For example, if the company paid 1 $ to shareholders last year per share, then it should pay as much or higher in the current one. In order to monitor the state of such companies, analysts developed the "Dividend Aristocrats Index". It includes 64 companies, such as Abbott Laboratories, Colgate-Palmolive, Johnson & Johnson, Coca-Cola Co and others.
