Is BGB a good dividend stock?
What the data shows. These are observations, not recommendations — see the disclaimer at the foot of the page.

- Paying out more than it earnsA payout ratio of 128.68 means the dividend exceeds reported earnings. That can be sustained for a while from cash reserves or borrowing, but not indefinitely.
- Dividend has been cut 7 timesAcross 14 complete years, the annual total fell in 2022, 2024, 2025 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2025.
- Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
