FAQ
- What's the difference between dividend yield and payout ratio?
- Dividend yield is the dividend measured against the share price — what you earn back on the money you invested. Payout ratio is the share of the company's net earnings handed out as dividends — how much of what the business makes it gives away.
- What payout ratio counts as safe?
- A ratio between roughly 30% and 60% is generally considered the most stable and sustainable range. Once it climbs above 90%, the company is paying out far more than it comfortably earns, which puts the dividend at real risk of being cut.
- If the dividend yield comes out very high, is that always a good sign?
- Not necessarily. An unusually high yield can be a 'dividend trap,' where the stock price has dropped sharply, temporarily inflating the yield. In that case, check the payout ratio too — if it's over 100% or unusually high, there's a real risk the dividend gets cut or suspended next time, so you should dig into why the stock fell in the first place.
