n/a
12 months to Jun 30, 2026 (Q3 FY2026)
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

Dividend Growth
Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
KLKBY's dividend yield fell from 3.70% to 1.78% over the past ~90 days (-1.92 pp). Of that move, -1.92 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.00 pp from the share price ($5.50 on Jun 16, 2026 → $5.50 on Sep 14, 2026). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
