What this tool returns
Returns the dividend policy of one company as verified against the source. For the policy in effect, scheduled policies and past policies it gives DOE, payout ratio and total return ratio targets (0-1 decimals, as a value or range, marked as floor, ceiling, guideline or target), the progressive-dividend stance, the minimum dividend, compound conditions such as "whichever is higher", the effective period, source quotes and qualitative statements. status tells apart a verified policy, a verified absence of any stated policy, policies under review and companies not yet covered.
