Is the BCE dividend safe?
Watch it
BCE pays 7.6% a year and uses 66% of its free cash flow to do it, which leaves little room.
The numbers behind it
Dividend yield7.6%
Paid out of free cash flow66%
Paid out of profit34%
Debt in years of earnings2.8 years
How we decide
We look at how much of its free cash flow a company hands out. Under 60% leaves room, 60% to 90% is tight, and above 90% or heavy debt puts the dividend at risk.
