Dividend Snapshot
Key Metrics
Current Yield
7.08%
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
$1.2500
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
-
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)
43
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
$17.54 – $21.74
The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
37.37%
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
6
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
1.61
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
Quote & Key Data
Dividend Growth
Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
T-PA's dividend yield rose from 6.52% to 7.08% over the past ~90 days (+0.56 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the dividend rate and +0.56 pp from the share price ($19.17 → $17.66). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
Yield vs Its Own History
Across 326 daily observations over the past 15 months, T-PA's current yield is higher than approximately 98% of them. Our stored price history for T-PA covers the past 15 months; 3- and 5-year averages are not yet computable from it and are deliberately not shown.
