Is GUT 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 10.17%, 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 0.41 means roughly 41% of earnings go to the dividend, leaving room to keep paying through a weaker year.
  • Dividend has been cut 4 timesAcross 27 complete years, the annual total fell in 2004, 2011, 2023 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2023.
  • Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
