Is MDC's dividend safe?

MDC's 210.4% payout ratio is based on trailing earnings, which appear unusually depressed relative to the company's historical profitability. A single year of earnings can produce an unusually high payout ratio that may not reflect the dividend's long-term sustainability. For established dividend payers, free cash flow coverage and forward earnings estimates are often more meaningful indicators of dividend safety than a single year of trailing EPS.

MDC's 5-year dividend compound annual growth rate (CAGR) is approximately 11.8% per year. This growth rate is pre-loaded into the calculator above to give you a realistic projection.
