A good dividend stock has several key traits, including reliability, stability and consistency. Those traits are typical of companies that have sound management, are well-capitalized, and are among the leaders in their market.
While there are many good dividend stocks available to investors, relatively few are better than JPMorgan Chase (NYSE:JPM). The nation’s largest bank encompasses many of the elements that constitute a good dividend stock, and it has the results to prove it.
13 straight years of rising dividends
JPMorgan Chase just raised its quarterly dividend last month to $1.05 per share, up from $1 per share the previous quarter. This is the 13th consecutive year dating back to 2011 that the bank has increased its dividend on an annual basis. This includes 2020, when many banks either suspended their dividends or reduced them during the COVID shutdowns.
