What’s not to love about Dividend Kings? They’re great companies with proven track records and over 50 years of increasing dividend payouts. That says a lot about their operations and ability to weather the ever-changing business landscape.
However, not all Dividend Kings are equal. We recently saw some high-profile companies like 3M drop off the list. However, I must admit that 3M's company’s reason for cutting dividends (spinning off its healthcare segment into a different company) is reasonable.
