Dividend Yield: 3.7%

Despite stable and growing dividends over the past decade, concerns arise as dividends are not covered by free cash flows, although they are supported by earnings with a payout ratio of 54.9%.

Despite a history of volatile dividends, current payouts are well-covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios around 32%. Recent earnings growth supports this stability; however, future earnings are expected to decline slightly over the next three years.
