Is CRF 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 22.76%, 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.
  • Dividend is comfortably coveredA payout ratio of 0.00 means roughly 0% of earnings go to the dividend, leaving room to keep paying through a weaker year.
  • Dividend has been cut 22 timesAcross 39 complete years, the annual total fell in 2021, 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.
