Is VPU a good dividend stock?
What the data shows. These are observations, not recommendations — see the disclaimer at the foot of the page.
- Yield is above the market median3.04% against a median of 2.92% across US dividend payers.
- 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 4 timesAcross 22 complete years, the annual total fell in 2014, 2021, 2025 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2025.
- Raised for 4 consecutive yearsDerived from split-adjusted payment history and approximate; treat it as a relative signal rather than a certified record.
