Is FCEF a good dividend stock?
What the data shows. These are observations, not recommendations — see the disclaimer at the foot of the page.
- Yield is above the market median7.17% against a median of 2.97% across US dividend payers.
- Payout ratio does not applyThis is a fund. It distributes income received from its holdings rather than paying out of its own earnings, so a payout ratio is not a meaningful measure.
- Dividend has been cut onceAcross 10 complete years, the annual total fell in 2020. The most recent reduction was in 2020.
- Raised for 5 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.
