Is FTCS a good dividend stock?

What the data shows. These are observations, not recommendations — see the disclaimer at the foot of the page.

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 7 timesAcross 20 complete years, the annual total fell in 2020, 2022, 2025 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2025.
