Is WU 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 15.21%, 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 uses most of earningsA payout ratio of 0.77 leaves a narrower margin than the sub-0.60 range generally considered comfortable, though it remains within earnings.
No annual reduction on recordAcross 20 complete years of payment history, the total paid has never fallen year on year.
