How BOAT's dividend compares
Across the 584 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 3.75%. BOAT's 6.47% is 2.71 percentage points above that median, ranking 212th of 584 by yield.
Within Industrials, where we track 52 names, the median yield is 1.21% — putting BOAT 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.
What the numbers mean
Like most US dividend payers, BOAT 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.
