SCCO has paid quarterly dividends since 1996, with 122 payments across its history. Over the past year, distributions totaled $3.9016 per share and produced a 1.91% trailing yield. The payment record spans multiple market cycles, while the latest year continued the established quarterly schedule.
The latest payment was $1.087 per share, an 11.1% increase from the previous payment. The recent average rose 12.5% to $1.0326 per share, showing that near-term distributions moved higher.
Annual totals rose in each year from 2021 through 2023. The 2024 annual change reflected three ex-dates falling into a neighboring year, not a change in the rate, and average per payment was lower than in the prior year. The annual total subsequently increased. SCCO’s dividend growth streak stands at one year. The shifted-count year was also the last annual cut year, and the dividend safety grade is C.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
