Is GAB 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 11.28%, 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.
  • Dividend is comfortably coveredA payout ratio of 0.43 means roughly 43% of earnings go to the dividend, leaving room to keep paying through a weaker year.
  • Dividend has been cut 7 timesAcross 39 complete years, the annual total fell in 2008, 2009, 2010 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2010.
