Frequently Asked Questions
What is considered a high dividend yield?
Generally, yields above 3% are considered high. The S&P 500 average dividend yield is typically around 1.3-1.5%.
Are high dividend stocks risky?
An unusually high yield can signal a falling stock price rather than genuine income strength. Always check the payout ratio.
What is a good payout ratio?
A payout ratio below 60% is generally sustainable. REITs often have higher ratios by design.
