How PNNT's dividend compares
Across the 1000 dividend stocks and ETFs DivTrkr tracks, the median yield is 3.57%. PNNT's 33.22% is 29.65 percentage points above that median, ranking 64th of 1000 by yield.
Within Financial Services, where we track 157 names, the median yield is 9.52% — 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 289th out of the 553 names in our data with an active growth streak.
What the numbers mean
PNNT pays out roughly 5% of its earnings as dividends. That is a conservative payout ratio, leaving substantial room to keep raising the dividend or absorb a weak year.
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.
