Today I've attached a list of the yields from the Dividend Aristocrats for you. You can also find the payout ratios in this table. It's very informative in my view, and I use this overview too in order to get a feeling about the pricing of the market.
Dividend Aristocrats are stocks that have increased dividend payments over a period of 25 consecutive years without a break. That's a top value and around 100+companies could achieve this goal.
Standard & Poor's increases the restrictions and cut the list to 42 members. Well not all stocks are good from the list but you can find there some value players. Just take a look!

Only 12 companies yield over 3 percent. Not bad for a low-interest environment. The bond market offers 1.56 percent and has also default risks.
The top yielding stocks also slow grower full of debt.
These are my main thoughts on the Dividend Aristocrats list:
- When we look at the highest yielding stocks with yields over 3 percent, we see that only 3 companies have a low forward P/E.
- Stocks with a lower yield are much cheaper. 9 companies with yields less than 2 percent have a forward P/E under 15.
- Low-yielding stocks pay out less of it's annual earnings and might be reinvest more money into growth. See more of the results and the 12 cheapest Dividend Aristocrats here: Yields Of The Dividend Aristocrats...
