Is CGO 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 9.20%, the yield is more than three times the median of 2.85% 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.
  • Dividend is comfortably coveredA payout ratio of 0.21 means roughly 21% of earnings go to the dividend, leaving room to keep paying through a weaker year.
  • Dividend has been cut 6 timesAcross 20 complete years, the annual total fell in 2015, 2023, 2024 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2024.
  • Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
