What to check before trusting a dividend
- Payout ratio — dividends ÷ earnings. Above 80% is a red flag for most sectors.
- Free cash flow coverage — the company needs actual cash, not accounting profit, to pay.
- Debt trajectory — rising debt + high payout = future cut risk.
- Dividend growth history — consistent raises signal confidence; freezes signal caution.
