Is BDX a good dividend stock?

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

  • Yield is below the market median2.16% against a median of 2.92%. A lower yield is common among companies that reinvest more of their earnings or whose shares have risen.
  • Paying out more than it earnsA payout ratio of 1.87 means the dividend exceeds reported earnings. That can be sustained for a while from cash reserves or borrowing, but not indefinitely.
  • No annual reduction on recordAcross 44 complete years of payment history, the total paid has never fallen year on year.
  • Raised for 42 consecutive yearsA long record of increases suggests both the cash generation to fund them and a management commitment to maintaining them. This figure is derived from payment history and is approximate.
