Is EVG 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 8.38%, the yield is more than three times the median of 2.78% 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 uses most of earningsA payout ratio of 0.87 leaves a narrower margin than the sub-0.60 range generally considered comfortable, though it remains within earnings.
  • Dividend has been cut 9 timesAcross 21 complete years, the annual total fell in 2022, 2023, 2025 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2025.
  • Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
