Is BKT 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 11.08%, 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.
- Paying out more than it earnsA payout ratio of 2.60 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 16 timesAcross 38 complete years, the annual total fell in 2015, 2016, 2022 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2022.
- Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
