At the current share price of $76.55 / share,
the stock’s dividend yield is 1.74%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been

The current dividend yield is
0.64 standard deviations
above
the historical average.
Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is 0.44.
The payout ratio tells us how much of a company’s income is paid out in dividends. A payout ratio of one (1.0)
means 100% of the company’s income is paid in a dividend.
A payout ratio greater than one means the company is dipping into savings in order to maintain its dividend – not a
healthy situation.
Companies with few growth prospects are expected to pay out most of their income in dividends, which typically
means a payout ratio between 0.5 and 1.0.
Companies with good growth prospects are expected to retain some earnings in order to invest
in those growth prospects, which translates to a payout ratio of zero to 0.5.
The company’s 3-Year dividend growth rate is 0.45%,
demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.
