quarterly dividend of $0.50 per share ($2.02 annualized).
Shareholders of record as of February 27, 2023

At the current share price of $155.70 / share,
the stock’s dividend yield is 1.30%.
Looking back five years and taking a sample every week, the average dividend yield has been
1.80%,
the lowest has been 1.12%,
and the highest has been 3.00%.
The standard deviation of yields is 0.43 (n=237).
The current dividend yield is

below
the historical average.
Additionally, the company’s dividend payout ratio is 0.26.
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 0.03%,
demonstrating that it has increased its dividend over time.
