AVK Dividend

Is AVK a good dividend stock?

What the data shows. These are observations, not recommendations — see the disclaimer at the foot of the page.

• !Yield is far above the marketAt 12.10%, the yield is more than three times the median of 2.92% across US dividend payers. A yield rises when a share price falls, so an unusually high figure often reflects what the market expects rather than what management has promised.
• ✓Dividend is comfortably coveredA payout ratio of 0.39 means roughly 39% of earnings go to the dividend, leaving room to keep paying through a weaker year.
• !Dividend has been cut 4 timesAcross 23 complete years, the annual total fell in 2009, 2012, 2014 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2014.
• ·Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
