That is a payout ratio of about 61.1% of earnings, so it is not currently covered by free cash flow.

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

Xcel Energy pays out about 61.1% 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.
