@PoorDad Yes/No. It depends on the company, how well business is going, the general economic situation, .... there are many factors that argue for or against a decision to increase the dividend
@Laeuft Yes, and since we're talking about Omega, it has been wiser in recent years not to increase the dividend, because that would allow them to build up a larger financial buffer—given the higher interest rates and the challenges in the nursing home sector. A dividend increase might have been possible, but it would have raised the payout ratio and reduced financial flexibility.
