Key Metrics

Distribution Yield

5.00%

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 Distribution

$2.3880

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

59.7

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)

28

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

$47.74 – $50.55

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

Payout Ratio

n/a

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

3

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

-

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.

S.A.F.E. Dividend Read

S.A.F.E. is our quick durability read on a dividend — the same four-check test used across the screener and our ranked lists. Solid: the payout is well covered and the overall model profile is strong. Accelerating: the dividend has grown over time, not stalled. Flawless: an unbroken record with no cuts or suspensions. Enduring: a long enough paying history to weather a cycle. All four met earns the S.A.F.E. flag.
S Solid
Below the Solid check (model rank 70+ and yield 2%+): rank 60/100, yield 5.00%.
A Accelerating
Dividend growth has stalled — 1 consecutive annual increase(s), under the 3 this check looks for.
F Flawless
No dividend cut in the available payment record.
E Enduring
3 year(s) of payments on record, under the 20 this check looks for.

Distribution Growth

3-Yr Growth (CAGR)-The dividend's average annual growth rate over the period, compounded. Steady growth signals a healthy, rising payout.

Consecutive Increases1 yrThe number of years in a row the dividend has increased — a track record of reliability.

Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)

FTBD's distribution yield rose from 4.67% to 5.00% over the past ~90 days (+0.34 pp). Of that move, +0.18 pp came from changes in the distribution rate and +0.16 pp from the share price ($49.38 → $47.74). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
