Is CDP 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 median3.44% against a median of 2.78% across US dividend payers.
Paying out more than it earnsA payout ratio of 1.06 exceeds reported earnings, which is normal for a REIT: large depreciation charges push accounting earnings well below the cash the business actually collects. Analysts judge REIT dividends against funds from operations instead.
Dividend has been cut 5 timesAcross 34 complete years, the annual total fell in 1995, 1996, 2012 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2012.
