The amounts for the last 12 months and paid in fiscal 2026 differ if the company has raised or cut its dividend since then.

For banks and insurers we do not show whether free cash flow covers the dividend: there it mostly reflects movements in loans and deposits. The score leaves it out as well.

Is today's dividend yield unusually high?
