Key Metrics

Current Yield

1.91%

At the Oct 29, 2026 price

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

$0.0213

The latest declared regular dividend scaled to a full year by how often it's paid (for semi-annual payers, the latest two payments), adjusted for stock splits. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00. Special dividends are excluded.

Frequency

S Semi-Annual

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

RSI (14)

99

As of Oct 29, 2026

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

$0.94 – $1.38

Closes through Oct 22, 2026

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

Payout Ratio (TTM)

10.68%

12 months to Jul 31, 2026 (Q2 FY2027)

The share of earnings paid out as dividends over the trailing twelve months (TTM): dividends paid divided by net income across the company's four most recent reported quarters, dated by the latest quarter end. A fiscal-year tag such as FY2025 means only annual figures were available. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earned. It shows n/a for funds and when net income over the period was negative; for REITs and BDCs it is marked EPS-based, since they are judged on FFO/AFFO or net investment income instead.

Years Paying

9

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 (TTM)

1.43

Price as of Oct 25, 2026; latest reported book value

Price-to-book ratio: the share price on the date shown divided by the latest reported 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 a set of four checks on a dividend's record and the company's data, the same test used across the screener and our ranked lists. Solid: a Dividend Safety Score of 70+ and a yield of 2%+. Accelerating: at least three consecutive completed calendar years of higher total regular dividends. Flawless: since 1990, no calendar year whose total regular dividend fell more than 20% below the year before, and no suspension. Enduring: at least 20 years between the first and latest dividend in our records. All four met earns the S.A.F.E. flag.
S Solid
Below the Solid check (Dividend Safety Score 70+ and yield 2%+): Dividend Safety Score 79/100, yield 1.91%.
A Accelerating
Dividend growth has stalled — 1 consecutive annual increase(s), under the 3 this check looks for.
F Flawless
The record shows a gap in the regular dividend of more than 1.5 times its usual interval (a payment was due around November 2020).
E Enduring
9 year(s) of payments on record, under the 20 this check looks for.

Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)

JDDSF's dividend yield rose from 1.50% to 1.91% over the past ~90 days (+0.41 pp). Of that move, +0.48 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and -0.07 pp from the share price ($1.06 on Aug 03, 2026 → $1.11 on Oct 29, 2026). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
