Is HYT 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 12.00%, 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 uses most of earningsA payout ratio of 0.88 leaves a narrower margin than the sub-0.60 range generally considered comfortable, though it remains within earnings.
- Dividend has been cut 8 timesAcross 23 complete years, the annual total fell in 2014, 2016, 2022 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2022.
- Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
