The full payout history and per-share figures are on this dividends tab.

Intrinsiqq scores its dividend safety at 25 out of 100, weighing the payout ratio, free-cash-flow coverage and balance-sheet strength. Safety matters more than yield: a payout you can rely on beats a high one you cannot.

Entergy has raised its dividend for about 11 years in a row. Over the past five years the dividend has grown at roughly 5.5% a year. Consistent growth is one of the strongest signals of a durable, shareholder-friendly business, so read the streak alongside coverage on this tab.
What is Entergy's dividend payout ratio?+
Entergy pays out about 62.3% of its earnings as dividends. A lower payout ratio leaves more room to keep raising the dividend and to absorb a bad year, while a very high ratio can signal a payout under pressure. On this measure the dividend is not currently covered by free cash flow. See the dividend-safety breakdown for the free-cash-flow view, which is often more telling than earnings.
