🦅 Dividend Eagles: October ’25 Edition
Created by the MaxDividends Team. Available only on MaxDividends. Exclusive.
Dividend Eagles are the elite class of dividend stocks — companies that have raised their payouts for 15 years or more without interruption.
They’ve survived recessions, inflation waves, and market chaos — and still kept raising the check. These are the companies that treat shareholders like true partners.
Every month, the MaxDividends Team reopens the hangar, reviews fresh earnings, confirms dividend hikes, and updates the official list.
Only the strongest stay airborne.
And here’s what makes this list truly special — each company isn’t just a long-term payer. It’s been stress-tested through the MaxDividends 5-Step Secret Formula, which examines:
1️⃣ Sales Growth
2️⃣ Profit Growth
3️⃣ Net Income Trend
4️⃣ Dividend Payout Safety
5️⃣ Debt Burden
Every Dividend Eagle here has passed both tests — time and data — proving its ability to grow income through all market cycles.
📊 As always, just like every month — in this issue: we break down the best names to buy right now, highlight the key changes in the list, and reveal who joined — and who got grounded.
First — as tradition goes — a few words on how our team actually uses the Dividend Eagles list in our own investing.
⚡ The MaxDividends Secret Playbook
- Pick only the strongest. Our Financial Score condenses 10–15 years of sales, profits, dividends, and debt into one number. If it’s 90+, it’s proven and reliable.
- Buy when undervalued. The app highlights names “on sale,” so you can act fast.
- Stick with brands you trust. Companies you’d proudly hold for decades.
- Collect and reinvest. Dividend raises + time = compounding that works automatically.
- Replace only on a cut. If a company ever reduces its dividend, the app alerts you instantly so you can stay on track.
- Use the MaxDividends App to track payouts, monitor growth, and receive real-time dividend alerts. It’s the world’s best dividend app for long-term investors.
That’s it — clear rules, full transparency, and stress-free wealth-building made simple inside the MaxDividends App.
👉 My Personal Extra Filter
I zero in on undervalued Dividend Eagles with a Financial Score of 90+, a payout ratio under 70%, and a MaxRatio of 9+ — companies that look cheap today and carry strong prospects for long-term dividend growth from the current entry point.
📘 Now, let’s move to the main part
After discussing it with the team, we decided to introduce a Buy / Hold / Sell list for the Dividend Eagles.
We’ll start with a simple table — and later, this feature will be fully integrated into the MaxDividends App.
This new navigation will make it incredibly easy to stay on the same page with us — giving you full transparency from the moment we buy a stock to the moment we sell it.
You’ll instantly see which ideas are worth considering today, which ones deserve a pause and patience, and which names — and why — it might be time to let go of.
