Compare

The payout ratio for Crown Castle Inc. (CCI) stock is 416.67% over the past 12 months. CCI has a payout ratio of 416.7%, based on $4.25 of dividends per share and $2.42 of EPS.

REIT note: for real-estate investment trusts the net-income payout ratio overstates the dividend, because large non-cash depreciation depresses GAAP earnings. REITs are evaluated on FFO / AFFO payout (the industry standard) and on the FCF payout — a payout above 100% here is normal for a REIT and is not, by itself, a sign the dividend is unsafe.
