The Dividend All-Stars have had some impressive years, but few compare to the class of 2021. The six A-grade stocks had a combined total return of 48.1%. You can chalk up some of those gains to the recovery, but the Dividend All-Stars used that tailwind to surge even more. The All-Stars handily beat the iShares Core S&P/TSX Capped Composite Index (XIC) ETF and the S&P/TSX Composite Index, which climbed 33.9% and 34%, respectively.

It’s worth noting that dividends accounted for more than 6.2 percentage points of that return. By comparison, XIC’s dividends added only 3.5 percentage points to that return.

Looking at the returns some investors seem to be enjoying lately, you can be forgiven if you’ve been questioning the value of your dividend portfolio. Cryptocurrencies have been wild. Tech stocks have been on fire. And companies like GameStop and AMC, the darlings of Reddit trade, have been stratospheric—touching highs of 1,000% at times. 
Canada’s best dividend stocks 2022
It may feel like everyone is holding a winning lottery ticket except you, but take a closer look. Many of the high-flying growth stocks peaked in the first few months of 2021 and have since given back large chunks of their gains. There will always be hot sectors to make investors feel invincible. But all too often, they end in an unpredictable and chaotic fashion. 
Dividend stocks may look downright dull next to those examples, but they seldom take investors on the same vomit-inducing rides…

How to use this table
As well as the Dividend All-Stars have performed over the years, the ranking should be viewed as the starting point for your research, not the end. This report aims to identify companies that offer the best investment potential now, based on yield, stability and value, but it’s a purely fundamental analysis. Use this list to narrow the prospective investments worthy of additional research before deciding whether they deserve to be included in your portfolio.
The ranking also doesn’t account for other important factors like management or risks that could seriously affect a company’s performance. That’s not to suggest those factors aren’t important, but that they require a more qualitative analysis that is best done on a company-by-company basis…
