Is VTES 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 median2.74% against a median of 2.92%. 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.
  • No annual reduction on recordAcross 3 complete years of payment history, the total paid has never fallen year on year.
  • Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
