A Dividend Aristocrat is an S&P 500-listed company that's raised its aggregate annual payout for at least 25 consecutive years.

There might not be a Dividend Aristocrat that's taken it on the chin harder of late than integrated oil and gas company ExxonMobil (NYSE:XOM). I'm generally not a fan of chasing so-called "coronavirus stocks," but healthcare services provider Cardinal Health (NYSE:CAH) was inexpensive long before COVID-19, and it's even more so now.
