# Consistent dividend payers — NSE scan

> A dividend in every one of the last five years, yielding over 2% today.

```sift
where dividend_years(5y) == 5 and dividend_yield(1y) > 2%
```

A company that has paid in each of the last five years, in any amount, has a board that treats the dividend as a commitment. `dividend_years(5y)` counts paying years and does not require a rising amount, so a payer that held its dividend flat through a bad year still qualifies. That is the right answer to the question this scan asks. The yield floor keeps out the token payers. Tighten it with `dividend_streak_years >= 7`, or add growth with `dividend_cagr(5y) > 5`.
