Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been 3.05%, the lowest has been 0.95%, and the highest has been 7.30%. The standard deviation of yields is 1.16 (n=96).

The current dividend yield is 1.84 standard deviations below the historical average.

Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is -0.50. The payout ratio tells us how much of a company’s income is paid out in dividends. A payout ratio of one (1.0) means 100% of the company’s income is paid in a dividend. A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings in order to maintain its dividend – not a healthy situation. Companies with few growth prospects are expected to pay out most of their income in dividends, which typically means a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0. Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some earnings in order to invest in those growth prospects, which translates to a payout ratio of zero to 0.5.
