Key Metrics

Current Yield

4.98%

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

$5.1200

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

43.0

Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a more attractive dividend profile by our model — an opinion, not advice.

RSI (14)

59

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

$93.05 – $136.77

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

Payout Ratio

82.14%

The share of earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns, which can be a warning sign.

Years Paying

41

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