Is RIV 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 14.99%, 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 0.49 means roughly 49% of earnings go to the dividend, leaving room to keep paying through a weaker year.
- Dividend has been cut 4 timesAcross 10 complete years, the annual total fell in 2021, 2023, 2025 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2025.
- Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
