9F Dividend Quality Scores : Factor 2 – Dividend Track Record

I’ve been building a new quality scoring system that rates dividend stocks on
a 10-point scale across nine weighted factors. 

Each factor blends qualitative expert assessments from
independent sources with quantitative financial metrics, such
as payout ratios, growth rates, and leverage. 

The goal is a single, defensible number that captures a dividend stock’s
overall quality.
