Dividend Kings: No Ideal Buys In February's 57

Dividend Kings remain broadly overvalued, with only a handful approaching fair price despite elevated yields. Three Dividend Kings—Canadian Utilities, Fortis, and Hormel—currently meet the dogcatcher 'ideal' but face dividend safety concerns due to negative free cash flow margins. Analyst projections estimate 14.16% to 27.77% net gains for top-yielding Dividend Kings by February 2027, with ABBV and NWN ranking in the top 20 across yield, target, and returns.
