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

Yield is below the market median1.29% 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 2 timesAcross 8 complete years, the annual total fell in 2020, 2022. The most recent reduction was in 2022.
Raised for 3 consecutive yearsDerived from split-adjusted payment history and approximate; treat it as a relative signal rather than a certified record.
