How KYLD's dividend compares
Across the 713 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 3.76%. KYLD's 25.02% is 21.26 percentage points above that median, ranking 76th of 713 by yield.
Among the 87 dividend ETFs we track, the median yield is 4.75% — putting KYLD above that group. 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
Payout ratio is not reported for KYLD because it is a fund rather than an operating company — an ETF distributes the income it collects from its holdings, so there are no company earnings to measure the payout against.
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 fund pays them. See the qualified vs. ordinary dividend rules.
