Is BGS 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 21.45%, 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.
Earnings are negativeA payout ratio of -0.64 means the company is paying a dividend while reporting a loss. That can be funded from cash or borrowing for a time, but not from profits.
Dividend has been cut 2 timesAcross 19 complete years, the annual total fell in 2009, 2023. The most recent reduction was in 2023.
