What the record shows
SCCO has paid quarterly since 1996. Over the last 12 months, five payments totaled $5.1629 per share, producing a 3.09% trailing yield. That period contained five payments despite SCCO’s usual quarterly frequency.
The latest payment was $1.30 per share, up 20.8% from the previous payment. The recent average payment was $1.1881, compared with $0.9647 previously, a 23.2% increase. This indicates that SCCO’s recent payments moved higher despite reductions within the broader five-year period.
Annual totals initially fell, then rose annually for the following stretch. The 2024 total declined because only three ex-dates fell within the year, with another falling into a neighboring year, rather than because of a rate change. Even so, the average payment fell from $0.9253 to $0.6488, marking the annual cut year. The average payment rose in the following year, leaving SCCO with one consecutive year of dividend growth. Its 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.
