FAQ
- How do you pick US dividend stocks?
- Look beyond the yield — the number of years of raises (Dividend Aristocrats and Kings), the payout ratio (dividends vs. earnings), and the stability of free cash flow all gauge sustainability.
- Is a high dividend yield always good?
- An unusually high yield can signal a plunging share price (i.e., deteriorating results). The dividend's "sustainability" matters more than the yield number. (Information only, not a recommendation to buy or sell.)
