Is 5%+ Dividend Yield a Bargain or a Trap?

Описание: Is 5%+ Dividend Yield a Bargain or a Trap?

A 5 percent dividend looks amazing until it gets cut. In this episode we study real disasters: Kinder Morgan slashed dividends 75 percent in 2015. General Electric cut 90 percent from 2017 to 2018. AT&T cut 50 percent in 2022. Walgreens saw its payout ratio explode to 290 percent in 2023 before the cut. Then we learn the four screening checks that work: Payout Ratio under 75 percent. Earnings must be growing. Free Cash Flow must cover the dividend. Debt to Equity should be low. These four metrics help you pick sustainable dividends instead of dividend traps.
