Key Metrics

Current Yield

1.08%

The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.

Annualized Dividend

$0.6000

The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.

Frequency

Q Quarterly

How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.

Rank Score

50.9

Our 0-100 house score blending yield, payout safety, growth and momentum. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.

RSI (14)

74

Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.

52-Week Range

$41.73 – $61.19

The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.

Payout Ratio

9.20%

The share of GAAP earnings paid out as dividends. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earns. It shows n/a for BDCs, REITs and funds, which pay out of cash flow / net investment income rather than GAAP earnings, so this ratio doesn't apply.

Years Paying

4

How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.

Price / Book

1.69

Price-to-book ratio: share price divided by book value per share. A rough valuation gauge, most useful for asset-heavy sectors like REITs, banks and insurers.

A Accelerating

E Enduring

Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)

ASO's dividend yield fell from 1.22% to 1.08% over the past ~90 days (-0.13 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and -0.13 pp from the share price ($49.34 → $55.36). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
