Dividend Power Score
A single, comprehensive score designed to measure the true strength of a company’s dividend.
This score combines three essential pillars of dividend quality:
Consistency – Measures how reliable the dividend has been over time, focusing on payment history, stability, and the absence of cuts or suspensions.
Payability – Assesses the company’s financial ability to sustain its dividend, taking into account cash flow, earnings coverage, balance sheet strength, and overall financial health.
Growth – Evaluates the long-term growth of both the dividend and the company’s share price, highlighting businesses that consistently increase payouts while creating shareholder value.
Higher scores identify companies that have historically delivered dependable income alongside sustained dividend growth and long-term capital appreciation.
Company Overview
ASGN Incorporated is a U.S.-based professional services firm that provides technology, digital, and creative solutions primarily through high-end consulting, IT services, and staffing. The company operates at the intersection of information technology services, digital transformation, and professional staffing, serving enterprise and government clients. ASGN’s revenue is primarily driven by consulting services, managed solutions, and specialized talent placement across technology, creative, and business operations roles.
Founded in 1985, ASGN originally focused on technology staffing and gradually evolved into a broader professional services and consulting organization through organic growth and strategic acquisitions. The company differentiates itself through a focus on high-skill, mission-critical talent and solutions, long-term client relationships, and a diversified portfolio of specialized consulting brands that address complex digital, cloud, data, and creative needs.
Business Operations
ASGN operates through two primary business segments: Commercial and Federal Government. The Commercial segment generates the majority of revenue and includes technology consulting, creative and digital marketing services, and professional staffing solutions delivered through multiple specialized subsidiaries. The Federal Government segment provides IT services, engineering, cybersecurity, and mission support solutions to U.S. federal agencies, primarily under long-term contracts.
The company delivers services both domestically and internationally, with core capabilities spanning cloud computing, data analytics, cybersecurity, software development, digital experience design, and workforce solutions. Key operating subsidiaries include Apex Systems, EASi, Oxford Global Resources, Creative Circle, and Emerge, which collectively support consulting, managed services, and high-end talent solutions across multiple industries.
Strategic Position & Investments
ASGN’s strategic direction emphasizes expanding higher-margin consulting and digital transformation services while reducing reliance on traditional staffing. The company has pursued growth through targeted acquisitions that deepen technical expertise, expand federal capabilities, and strengthen digital and creative service offerings. Acquisitions such as ECS Federal, Iron Vine Security, and Mobile Technologies Inc. have enhanced ASGN’s position in federal IT services, cybersecurity, and defense-related technology markets.
The company continues to invest in cloud services, data engineering, artificial intelligence enablement, and digital experience platforms, aligning its portfolio with long-term enterprise modernization trends. ASGN’s multi-brand strategy allows it to operate specialized firms with distinct market identities while benefiting from shared operational scale and capital allocation.
Geographic Footprint
ASGN is headquartered in United States – California, with operational leadership historically based in the western U.S. The company maintains a broad national footprint with offices and client engagements across North America, serving major metropolitan and government hubs. Its federal operations are concentrated in Washington, D.C. and surrounding regions, reflecting proximity to U.S. government agencies.
Internationally, ASGN has a presence in Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America, primarily supporting global enterprise clients and delivery centers rather than large-scale consumer-facing operations. While the majority of revenue is generated in the United States, international operations support global consulting engagements and talent delivery for multinational clients.
