Consider our list of the top 100 Canadian dividend stocks for 2024, below, as a starting point for your search for investing prospects, not the final destination. You may find yourself looking long and hard for what investors typically consider dividend aristocrats: banks, telecoms, utilities, pipelines and real estate investment trusts (REITs). (They’re here. It’s just not that obvious.) Understand that this exercise is meant to identify candidates based on quantitative factors including not just dividend yield and sustainability, but also measures of profitability, financial strength and value.

Many dividend-seeking investors gravitate towards bank stocks—but these have taken a backseat in this year’s top 100. While scoring reasonably well on dividends and valuation, the bank stocks suffered from substandard stability scores relative to most Toronto Stock Exchange–listed dividend payers in 2023, notes Aman Raina, investing coach and founder of Sage Investors, who extracted the data. “The insurance companies, by contrast, show more balance in scoring. So, if you are looking for financial exposure, this subsector appears to have some decent upside.”
Another surprise in this year’s best dividend stock list was how well commodity-producing companies scored on all three criteria. “With potential for inflation and interest rates to fall, leading to potentially lower real rates, this could give the [materials and energy] space some legs for a run in 2024,” Raina says.
Depending on your own investment process, treat the list below as a source of ideas, to be augmented by more thorough due diligence, especially throughout 2024. Our screening does not account for qualitative factors such as the expertise of company management, consumer and/or technological trends, or risks associated with the countries in which the companies operate, for example.

why is Enbridge not on the list?
Hi LD, Enbridge scored 109th on the rankings, so in the middle-range of companies. It was OK but not as well balanced as the other high scoring companies. While it scored high in terms of yield metrics, it was “weaker” in the profitability side, which carried a higher weighting. The rankings are not simply based on high dividend yields.
