Is ECAT 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 24.71%, the yield is more than three times the median of 2.81% 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.
- Paying out more than it earnsA payout ratio of 1.63 means the dividend exceeds reported earnings. That can be sustained for a while from cash reserves or borrowing, but not indefinitely.
- Dividend has been cut onceAcross 5 complete years, the annual total fell in 2025. The most recent reduction was in 2025.
- Raised for 4 consecutive yearsDerived from split-adjusted payment history and approximate; treat it as a relative signal rather than a certified record.
- Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
