GBAB Dividend

Is GBAB 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 11.89%, the yield is more than three times the median of 2.97% 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 1.24 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 2 timesAcross 15 complete years, the annual total fell in 2015, 2017. The most recent reduction was in 2017.
• ·Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
