Dividend Cut

Dividend cut is a reduction in the regular dividend per share compared with the preceding comparable payment.

Why this matters to income investors

A cut reduces expected cash receipts and may reveal weaker earning power.

How to use dividend cut in your research

Check the company’s latest declaration for the per-share amount and payment dates. Separate the recurring rate from one-time payments, then compare the revised annual amount with current earnings support.
