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
FDCTech, Inc. is a financial technology holding company that focuses on acquiring, developing, and operating businesses across the financial services, capital markets, and financial technology industries. The company’s activities center on technology-enabled financial services, including brokerage, investment banking, and software-driven solutions designed to support trading, clearing, and financial operations. FDCTech primarily generates revenue through its operating subsidiaries that provide brokerage services, advisory services, and financial technology platforms.
The company is positioned as a diversified fintech and financial services platform, seeking to integrate traditional financial services with modern technology infrastructure. Its strategy emphasizes regulatory-compliant market access, technology ownership, and vertical integration across trading and financial services. FDCTech was founded in 2016 and initially focused on financial software solutions before evolving into a holding company structure that expanded into broker-dealer operations and capital markets services through acquisitions and subsidiary formation.
Business Operations
FDCTech operates through multiple business units that span brokerage, advisory, and technology-enabled financial services. Its core revenue-generating activities are conducted through regulated broker-dealer and advisory subsidiaries, which provide services such as securities brokerage, investment banking advisory, and capital markets access. These operations are primarily oriented toward institutional clients, corporate issuers, and professional market participants.
The company controls proprietary and third-party financial technologies that support trading, compliance, and operational workflows. FDCTech’s operations are largely based in the United States, with international exposure through subsidiaries and partnerships that provide access to global markets. Key operating subsidiaries include AD Advisory Services, Inc., Condor Trading, LP, and Alkaline Capital, LLC, each contributing to different aspects of brokerage, advisory, and investment activities.
Strategic Position & Investments
FDCTech’s strategic direction focuses on expanding its footprint in regulated financial services while leveraging technology to enhance efficiency and scalability.

Geographic Footprint
