Dividend deep dive
American Electric Power Company (AEP) operates in the utility sector, boasting a market capitalization of $66,835,664,896. Its current dividend yield is 3.1%, based on a market price of $122.77 and an annual dividend of $3.8. The company's 5-year dividend yield band (high/low/average) is not provided, making direct comparison difficult. Neither a dividend rating score nor intrinsic momentum or value scores are available in the data, limiting a broader comparative overview of its market position.
Dividend history
The provided data does not include the company's dividend streak years, making it impossible to confirm a history of consecutive dividend increases. Similarly, the 3-year and 5-year Dividend Compound Annual Growth Rates (CAGRs) are not available, which prevents an assessment of recent dividend growth trends. Furthermore, detailed year-by-year dividend history is missing from the dataset. The absence of these figures limits an understanding of past dividend consistency and growth patterns for investors.
Dividend safety
American Electric Power's dividend payout ratio stands at 65.86%, calculated from its EPS of $5.77 and an annual dividend of $3.8. This indicates that a significant portion of earnings is currently allocated to dividend payments.
