📜 Dividend Radar: The Origin Story

In the early 2000s, the late David Fish — an independent analyst and dividend-growth pioneer — created what became known as the Dividend Champions, Contenders & Challengers List (CCC List).

It was simple but powerful: group companies by how many years in a row they’ve raised their dividends. Over time, this evolved into Dividend Radar, a weekly update trusted by thousands of income investors.

For more than two decades, dividend investors across the world followed one proven framework — Dividend Radar, built on the timeless CCC method:
Champions. Contenders. Challengers.

It wasn’t just a list. It was a reputation. To be included meant a company had achieved what only the strongest businesses ever do — raising its dividend every single year, without fail.

Here’s the essence of David Fish’s the system:

Dividend Champions (Aristocrats)

Companies that raised their dividends for 25 years or more. These are the icons of reliability — the long-term legends.

Dividend Eagles

15-24 years of dividend growth, identified using a modernized, data-driven framework that goes beyond streak length alone. Eagles combine long-term consistency with strong financial quality — spotlighting companies that not only raise dividends, but do so with superior fundamentals, healthy balance sheets, and durable business models.

Dividend Contenders

10 to 24 years of consecutive increases. Proven performers with strong growth and discipline.

Dividend Challengers

5 to 9 years of raises. Rising stars on their way to the upper tiers.

For nearly twenty years, the CCC system served as the investor’s compass — until mid-2024, when Dividend Radar was quietly discontinued.

The updates stopped. The spreadsheet disappeared. And with it, one of the most respected tools in dividend investing was gone.

⚙️ How It Works Now

Every Wednesday, we publish a refreshed MaxDividends Dividend Radar — a live list of companies that have raised dividends for at least five consecutive years.

Each company is automatically evaluated using our core metrics:

  • Financial Scoring — overall business quality, stability, and balance-sheet strength

  • Dividend Scoring — dividend consistency, yield sustainability, and growth momentum

Alongside these scores you’ll find: ticker and name, sector, years of raises, current yield, payout ratio, 5- and 10-year dividend CAGR, and key financial metrics (EPS, revenue growth, debt, cash flow).

Everything updates automatically — no manual files, no downloads. Just clean data inside the app.

The Dave Fish Dividend Strategy

Powered by MaxDividends

Dave Fish, creator of the famous CCC (Champions, Contenders, Challengers) list, never claimed to have a complex investing system. His approach was remarkably simple:

Buy high-quality companies with long histories of dividend growth. Hold them while the dividend keeps growing and the business remains strong. Sell only when the original investment thesis breaks. Today, every part of that philosophy can be tracked using MaxDividends metrics.

BUY

Look for companies that meet these conditions:

Long History of Dividend Growth

  • 10+ consecutive years of annual dividend increases

Safe Dividend

  • Dividend Policy Score: 9+

  • Payout Ratio: Below 70%

Strong and Durable Business

  • Financial Score: 90+

Reasonable Valuation

  • Rated Fairly Valued or Undervalued

Attractive Income Potential

  • MaxRatio: 8+

This combination identifies companies that not only pay dividends today, but have a high probability of continuing to grow those dividends for years to come.

HOLD

Continue holding as long as:

The dividend continues to grow

The business remains financially strong

For Dave Fish, most successful investments were measured in years and decades, not quarters.

SELL

Consider selling when:

Dividend Cut

Dividend Freeze

Significant Deterioration in Business Quality

  • Financial Score falls below 80

A dividend growth portfolio does not require frequent trading. The key is monitoring whether the original reasons for owning the company are still intact.

Every metric used in this framework is available inside the weekly Dividend Radar by MaxDividends publication and is continuously updated inside the MaxDividends Research Platform.

🧭 What You’ll See Every Wednesday

  • Top Dividend Champions — the elite 25+ year streaks

  • Top Dividend Eagles - top names with 15–24 years of dividend growth — a curated, higher-quality subset that blends consistency with stronger fundamentals than the broad Contender group.

  • Top Contenders — 10–24 year consistent raisers

  • Top Challengers — 5–9 year up-and-comers

  • New Additions & Drops — who entered or fell off the list

  • Dividend Raises of the Week — the latest increase announcements

Each name comes with a Financial Score, Dividend Score, yield, and growth rate — everything you need to spot quality and momentum at a glance.

💎 Why This Method Still Matters

Because true dividend growth isn’t luck — it’s discipline.
Companies that keep raising through recessions and rate cycles are built differently.

That’s why this approach stood the test of time for two decades. When you invest in consistent raisers, you’re not chasing price swings — you’re building income that grows year after year.

🗓 Every Wednesday

Each Wednesday morning, the new Dividend Radar 2.0 update goes live in your inbox.

Tomorrow’s first issue includes:

  • All Dividend Champions

  • Fresh Contenders with double-digit streaks

  • Rising Challengers entering the radar

  • All hikes, cuts, changes (soon)

As we move forward, we’ll gradually evolve it into a fully interactive experience inside the MaxDividends App — keeping the spirit of the original method alive while adding our own upgrades and precision analytics.
