The reason its yielding over 3% is because the stock is half of what it was in 2015 .. With dividends reinvested its yielded MINUS 8% during that time vs a PLUS 9 % for the SP500. Knock yourself out if you think its hit rock bottom.. Dont know anything about its payout ratio, EPS trend etc, but for my money there are plenty of better stocks yielding 3-4%. There are also many Simply Safe followers here. they could tell you the safety rating of the dividend
