How the dividend grade works

Each BDC is scored out of 100 on how dependable its dividend has been, then given a letter. Hover any grade in the table to see its own breakdown.

Dividend growth 40 ptsYearly change in dividends paid per share over the last 3 full years. 8% or more a year earns full marks; a cut earns none.
Track record 25 ptsFull marks for Dividend Kings and Aristocrats, most for a raise in each of the last 3 years, a few for simply not cutting.
Total return 20 ptsYearly return with dividends reinvested, over 5 years where we have them. 10% or more a year earns full marks; a loss earns little or none.
Share price 15 ptsWhether the price held up over the last year. A high yield on a falling price is often a warning, not a bargain.
A80+B65+C50+D35+Funder 35

The grade describes the past, using only the price and dividend history on this site. It does not look at earnings, debt or payout ratios, and it is not a recommendation to buy or sell.
