Finding a safe dividend stock is sort of a conundrum … The stock market by definition is not safe. It’s the riskiest investment vehicle which implies that finding a safe dividend investment is a challenging feat to start with.

Dividend safety ratings is also requiring investors to look at the company from a quantitative and qualitative perspective.

Along the quantitative perspective, even if the dividend is considered safe by any metrics but the stock goes down or stays flat, the investor is also disappointed. So it’s not just about a safe dividend in the end.

The next challenge is that many investors are looking for a safe high-yield dividend stock and in the investment world, safe and high-yield cannot easily co-exist. So what is a safe dividend stock?

A safe dividend stock is a company that can safely cover the dividend regardless of the economic environment we are in. The safest dividend stocks would also provide dividend growth along with a tollbooth-like business which means cash is continuously flowing.

The lists below match the most stringent of all requirements:

10 years of consecutive dividend growth
10% annual dividend growth
Tollbooth-like business for guaranteed ongoing cash-flow

Note that there can always be a situation where the dividend could be impacted. There is no such thing as guaranteed dividend with the stock market.

Another note is that energy pipeline are currently safe but probably the most at risk from the safe lists below.

Safest Canadian Dividend Stocks

Safe Canadian Dividend Stock

The stringent requirements for the safest dividend stocks are making the picking thin so I have put together a safe dividend stock list lowering the requirement.

Build Your OWN Top List

My portfolio is generating over 12% annual returns since 2009. It's not from the beginning of the year or from 2019, it's from 2009 !!! That's a consistent return which means using the rule of 72, I double my portfolio every 6 years.

My approach is simple but you need key data that I have cultivated with the Dividend Snapshot Screeners. No other investment services provide you with easy to understand data but also actionable data. No hidden magic.

In fact, I have tried all of the investment services for dividend investors like a crash test dummy of investment services. Just ask me, and you'll learn why there was nothing I could use out there and build the Dividend Snapshot Screeners.
