Is VYM 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 median2.23% against a median of 2.85%. 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 20 complete years, the annual total fell in 2016, 2021, 2025 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2025.
- Raised for 15 consecutive yearsA long record of increases suggests both the cash generation to fund them and a management commitment to maintaining them. This figure is derived from payment history and is approximate.
