Is EARN 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 22.54%, 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.
- Earnings are negativeA payout ratio of -0.49 means the company is paying a dividend while reporting a loss. That can be funded from cash or borrowing for a time, but not from profits.
- Dividend has been cut 5 timesAcross 13 complete years, the annual total fell in 2018, 2019, 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.
