Payout
Dividend payout ratio
How it is worked out
Dividends paid ÷ net income × 100The share of profit already promised to the dividend. A low figure leaves room to absorb a bad year without cutting it; a company paying nothing reads zero, which makes this a measure of flexibility rather than of income.
How to read it
low is good, read as committed cash rather than as generosity: a company paying nothing has nothing to cut in a bad year and scores at the top. That makes it a poor measure of income and a fair one of flexibility

Whether it counts
This measure is not counted by default. It can be added to Resilience on the dashboard, and it then takes its share of that dimension.
