Did You Know?

Correlation is a statistical measure that describes the relationship between two variables. It ranges from -1 to 1, where -1 indicates a perfect negative correlation (as one variable increases, the other decreases), 1 indicates a perfect positive correlation (as one variable increases, the other increases), and 0 indicates no correlation (there is no relationship between the variables).

Correlation can be used to analyze the relationship between any two variables, not just stocks. It's commonly used in fields such as finance, economics, psychology, and more.

Dividend Commentary

The company's low Dividend Sustainability Score (DSS) highlights potential challenges in upholding its current dividend levels. Unfortunately, its low Dividend Growth Potential Score (DGPS) suggests limited prospects for dividend growth. In conclusion, a more vigilant stance is recommended given the company's tentative dividend landscape.
