Key Metrics

Current Yield

2.54%

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

$5.0000

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

65.9

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)

34

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

$196.59 – $287.39

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

Payout Ratio

39.62%

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

41

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

-15.05

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 66/100, yield 2.54%.
A Accelerating
27 consecutive years of dividend increases.
F Flawless
A dividend cut or reduction appears in the record.
E Enduring
41 years of dividend payments on record.

Dividend Growth

3-Yr Growth (CAGR)8.3%The dividend's average annual growth rate over the period, compounded. Steady growth signals a healthy, rising payout.

Consecutive Increases26 yrsThe number of years in a row the dividend has increased — a track record of reliability.

Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)

LOW's dividend yield rose from 2.14% to 2.54% over the past ~90 days (+0.40 pp). Of that move, +0.10 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.30 pp from the share price ($224.02 → $196.82). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
