Key Metrics

Current Yield

1.09%

The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.

Annualized Dividend

$2.9200

The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.

Frequency

Q Quarterly

How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.

Rank Score

39.4

Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.

RSI (14)

58

Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.

52-Week Range

$245.73 – $308.35

The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.

Payout Ratio

36.31%

The share of GAAP earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns. It shows n/a for BDCs, REITs and funds, which pay out of cash flow / net investment income rather than GAAP earnings, so this ratio doesn't apply.

Years Paying

40

How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.

S.A.F.E. Dividend Read

S.A.F.E. is our quick durability read on the dividend: Sustainability, Adequacy, Financial strength and Endurance. Each letter flags green (good) or amber (worth a look).
S Sustainable Payout
Payout ratio 36% leaves coverage room.
A Payment Track Record
40 years of dividend payments.
F Fair Valuation
Price-to-book 7.61 is rich.
E Entry Signal
Not oversold. RSI 58.
