Key Metrics
Current Yield
6.44%
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
$4.4400
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
53.4
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)
53
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
$54.72 – $74.92
The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
100.19%
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

Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
MO's dividend yield rose from 6.04% to 6.44% over the past ~90 days (+0.40 pp). Of that move, +0.29 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.11 pp from the share price ($70.19 → $68.97). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
