PH dividend analysis

PH dividend deep dive

Income read on PH: trailing yield 4.10%, payout ratio 31%, 5y CAGR 0.1%, 10y CAGR 7.1%. The growth streak runs 2 years.

PH dividend-safety read: 44/100. The score is the Quality pillar (36/100) penalized for high payout — at 31% of earnings, that adjustment pulls the headline flat or up from raw Quality.

PH DRIP table at flat yield + growth: 5y ≈ 22.3%, 10y ≈ 49.5%, 20y ≈ 123.5% cumulative income return on the 4.10% starting yield. Useful as a back-of-envelope only — assumes the yield stays at TTM and the growth rate persists.

PH sits in a peer group of KO (5.00%), PG (1.50%), PEP (2.90%), with the trio yielding a mean of 3.13%. The 4.10% yield on PH is the cleanest single-number comparison; payout ratio and growth rate are the two follow-ups.

Ex-dividend cadence on PH: most recent ex-date 2026-03-01, payment 2026-03-15. Quarterly schedules are the norm for US payers; the ex-date is the cutoff for entitlement to the upcoming distribution, while the payment date is when cash hits the brokerage.

Income thesis line for PH: starting yield of 4.10%, projected growth of 0.1%, safety read 44/100. The forward open question is the durability of the next dividend hike given the 31% earnings payout.
