How PNNT's dividend compares
Across the 713 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 3.93%. PNNT's 25.67% is 21.74 percentage points above that median, ranking 78th of 713 by yield.
Within Financial Services, where we track 119 names, the median yield is 7.26% — putting PNNT 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 4-year run of dividend increases ranks 229th out of the 362 names in our data with an active growth streak.
What the numbers mean
PNNT pays out roughly 419% 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.
PNNT pays monthly, which suits investors who want dividend income to line up with monthly living expenses rather than arriving in quarterly lumps.
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.
