Years of dividend increases
How many fiscal years in a row, up to the latest, the dividend per share was higher than the year before.
How Tickdelta computes it
Counted back from the latest fiscal year until a year with no increase
From the latest 10-K's fiscal year.
Only companies that paid a dividend in the latest year. At most nine years are counted, as the site keeps ten years of statements. A year missing from the filings ends the count.
