What the numbers mean
TMO pays out roughly 10% of its earnings as dividends. That is a conservative payout ratio, leaving substantial room to keep raising the dividend or absorb a weak year.
Like most US dividend payers, TMO 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.
