The Dividend Kings list now includes 56 stocks, but only a select few offer fair value and strong yields relative to share price. Five top-yielding Dividend Kings—UVV, CDUAF, NWN, UBSI, and KVUE—currently meet my ideal of annual dividends exceeding share price. Analyst targets suggest these top-yield Kings could deliver net gains of 16% to 75% by September 2026, with lower volatility than the market.

Fifteen Dividend Kings currently appear undervalued with expected long-term annualized returns of at least 10%, based on Dividend Yield Theory analysis. Recent dividend increases have modestly boosted the group's 2025 dividend growth rate, though it still trails last year's pace.
