Is BLV a good dividend stock?

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

  • Yield is above the market median4.55% against a median of 2.78% across US dividend payers.
  • Payout ratio does not applyThis is a fund. It distributes income received from its holdings rather than paying out of its own earnings, so a payout ratio is not a meaningful measure.
  • Dividend has been cut 10 timesAcross 19 complete years, the annual total fell in 2020, 2022, 2023 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2023.
  • Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
