Key Metrics

Distribution Yield

8.04%

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

$1.5120

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

M Monthly

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

Rank Score

44.5

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)

23

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

$18.81 – $21.12

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

15

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

0.92

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 44/100, yield 8.04%.
A Accelerating
Dividend growth has stalled — 0 consecutive annual increase(s), under the 3 this check looks for.
F Flawless
A dividend cut or reduction appears in the record.
E Enduring
15 year(s) of payments on record, under the 20 this check looks for.

Distribution Growth

3-Yr Growth (CAGR)-2.3%The dividend's average annual growth rate over the period, compounded. Steady growth signals a healthy, rising payout.

Consecutive Increases0 yrsThe number of years in a row the dividend has increased — a track record of reliability.

Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)

PSF's distribution yield rose from 7.64% to 8.04% over the past ~90 days (+0.40 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the distribution rate and +0.40 pp from the share price ($19.79 → $18.81). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.

Percentile100%

Across 326 daily observations over the past 15 months, PSF's current yield is higher than approximately 100% of them. Our stored price history for PSF covers the past 15 months; 3- and 5-year averages are not yet computable from it and are deliberately not shown.
