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.

Holley is known for a portfolio-of-brands strategy, allowing it to address multiple enthusiast segments ranging from street performance to racing and classic vehicle restoration. Founded in 1903 as a carburetor manufacturer, Holley evolved over more than a century into a diversified performance parts platform through organic development and acquisitions, culminating in its public listing in 2021.

The company has pursued an acquisition-driven strategy to build its brand portfolio, with notable acquisitions including Edelbrock, Flowmaster, and APR, which expanded its reach into premium exhaust systems, European vehicle performance, and engine components.
