Key Metrics
Distribution Yield
8.53%
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 Distribution
$1.2960
Declared Aug 31, 2026
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
M Monthly
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)
45
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
$15.10 – $16.85
Closes through Oct 23, 2026
The lowest and highest price over the past year, showing where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
n/a
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
5
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 (FY2025)
0.93
At fiscal year-end, Jul 31, 2025
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
Quote & Key Data
Distribution Growth
Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
SDHY's distribution yield rose from 8.02% to 8.53% over the past ~90 days (+0.51 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the distribution rate and +0.51 pp from the share price ($16.15 on Aug 03, 2026 → $15.19 on Oct 29, 2026). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
Yield vs Its Own History
Across 272 daily observations over the past 13 months (through Oct 23, 2026), SDHY's current yield is higher than approximately 96% of them. Our stored price history for SDHY covers the past 13 months; 3- and 5-year averages are not yet computable from it and are deliberately not shown.
