In Episode 86 of Dividend Investing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dig into payout ratios — why a payout ratio above 90 percent is often a red flag, even for dividend aristocrats. Using Verizon's recent 8.9 percent drop as a case study, they break down how a stretched payout ratio left VZ vulnerable when the ten-year Treasury hit 4.44 percent. They contrast Verizon with Johnson & Johnson, whose payout ratio below 50 percent gave it room to raise its dividend despite market turbulence. With real-time data from July 2, 2026 — JNJ up 3.7 percent in five days, VZ down nearly 9 percent — the hosts explain how to calculate payout ratio, what level signals danger, and why low is not always better. A practical guide for income investors who want to avoid dividend cuts. #DividendInvesting #PayoutRatio #Verizon #JohnsonAndJohnson #DividendSafety #IncomeInvesting #DividendStocks #YieldAnalysis #Finance #Business #StockMarket #DividendAristocrats #PortfolioManagement #RiskManagement #TreasuryYields #July2026 #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
