How AMCR's dividend compares
Across the 1000 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 3.57%. AMCR's 5.62% is 2.05 percentage points above that median, ranking 375th of 1000 by yield.
Within Consumer Cyclical, where we track 37 names, the median yield is 2.58% — putting AMCR above its sector. A yield well above the sector norm is worth a second look: it can signal a depressed share price rather than a generous payout.
Its 5-year run of dividend increases ranks 218th out of the 553 names in our data with an active growth streak.
What the numbers mean
AMCR pays out roughly 109% of its earnings as dividends. That is a high payout ratio. The dividend is consuming most of reported earnings, which is normal for REITs and some funds but a caution flag elsewhere.
Like most US dividend payers, AMCR distributes quarterly, so a full year of ownership produces four payments.
Whether these payments are taxed at the lower qualified rate or as ordinary income depends on how long you hold the shares and what kind of company pays them. See the qualified vs. ordinary dividend rules.
