The current dividend yield is 1.06 standard deviations above the historical average.
Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is 0.34. The payout ratio tells us how much of a company’s income is paid out in dividends. A payout ratio of one (1.0) means 100% of the company’s income is paid out in dividends. A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings to maintain its dividend – not a healthy situation. Companies with few growth prospects are expected to pay out most of their earnings in dividends, which usually means a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0. Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some earnings to invest in those growth prospects, which translates to a payout ratio of zero to 0.5.
The company’s 3-year dividend growth rate is 2.20%, demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.
