How We Count This List

Each year's list is the start-of-year snapshot: membership after that year's January index rebalance. The additions and removals above cover everything between the prior year's snapshot and this one, including mid-year index changes.

To qualify, a company must be an S&P 500 member with at least 25 consecutive years of dividend increases and meet S&P's minimum size and liquidity requirements.
