Is VHT a good dividend stock?

What the data shows. These are observations, not recommendations — see the disclaimer at the foot of the page.

  • Yield is below the market median1.50% against a median of 2.78%. A lower yield is common among companies that reinvest more of their earnings or whose shares have risen.
  • Payout ratio does not applyThis is a fund. It distributes income received from its holdings rather than paying out of its own earnings, so a payout ratio is not a meaningful measure.
  • Dividend has been cut 5 timesAcross 22 complete years, the annual total fell in 2013, 2015, 2020 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2020.
  • Raised for 5 consecutive yearsDerived from split-adjusted payment history and approximate; treat it as a relative signal rather than a certified record.
