Don't understand what they write. Thought quantile means 0, 25, 50 and 75 and 100%. Further quantile range of what?

0-25-50-75-100 is quartile.
quantile range I think it means within 35% to 80% percentile.

bottom line is there is no relation between extreme unemployment and market.

Jun 10, 2020

This dividend is payable July 31, 2020, to common shareholders of record on June 30, 2020. The ex-dividend date is June 29, 2020.

notice a lot of amdk exd and pay date very close. unlike sg ones must wait weeks.

Annaly has declared a quarterly dividend of $0.22 per common share, which sets our dividend yield in line with our historical average and remains attractive relative to various fixed income benchmarks,

dis I dun see any issues

Additionally, we repurchased over $100 million in common stock to date during the quarter. We think it is a prudent allocation of capital as our stock remains undervalued relative to our continued improvement in book value while still allowing us to maintain a robust liquidity reservoir.”

but dis one dun understand how repurchase stock is prudent now. unless there is no other undervalue biz out there. juz like WB nothing to buy.

Sysco Corporation (SYY) Dividend Stock Analysis
JUNE 11, 2020

The company has solid competitive advantages in the distribution business, due to its scale of operations. This lets it sell each unit to customers at a lower per unit cost – because it gets to spread costs over a larger base.

The largest risk today is that a lot of their customers are having difficulties, due to Covid-19 related shutdowns. It is possible that many of their customers may not survive. The ones that are adaptable however, should be able to weather the storm.

Sysco may also benefit, because some of its smaller and less capitalized competitors may not survive, which could result in the opportunity to further consolidate its market position, and make it even stronger.

The dividend payout ratio increased from 2009 to 2015, before falling to a more reasonable 48% in 2019. Based on forward earnings, the forward dividend payout ratio is at 87%. This is high, but if you believe that this crisis is relatively temporary in nature, it may be a good time to review the stock.

However, if this turns out to radically change how everyone does business, leading to a wave of closures, and a reduction in demand, Sysco may end up earning less money and its dividend may be in danger. As usual, the stock price can always move lower, which is a risk particularly when fundamentals are on a shakier ground due to specific industry risks that Covid-19 is causing to Sysco.
