The Dividend Kings Ranked By Quality Scores (September 2026)
A Seeking Alpha article ranks Dividend Kings—companies with 50+ years of increasing dividends—using the author's 9F Quality Scores, combining qualitative and quantitative factors. The piece identifies ADP as the best total-return candidate among the ranked companies.
Why it matters — Tootsie Roll Industries, as a fellow Dividend King, may be considered within this ranking framework, so the article's quality-score methodology is relevant to watchers of the stock.
