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:

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

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.

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

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.

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:

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 MaxDividends Platform.

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

Look for companies that meet these conditions:

✅ Long History of Dividend Growth

✅ Safe Dividend

✅ Strong and Durable Business

✅ Reasonable Valuation

✅ Attractive Income Potential

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.

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.

Consider selling when:

❌ Dividend Cut

❌ Dividend Freeze

❌ Significant Deterioration in Business Quality

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.

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

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.

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

Tomorrow’s first issue includes:

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