What the numbers mean
HD pays out roughly 66% of its earnings as dividends. That is on the higher side — still common for utilities and consumer staples, but it leaves less cushion if earnings dip.
Like most US dividend payers, HD 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.
