NKE NIKE, Inc.

Range, yield & payout streak

Based on Yahoo annual dividend totals through 2025 (excludes incomplete 2026).

BDC / cash pass-through vs ordinary dividend

Ordinary corporate dividend — paid from corporate earnings/cash at the board’s discretion. Unlike BDCs/REITs, there is usually no pass-through distribution mandate. Coverage (earnings/FCF vs dividend), balance sheet, and streak matter more than yield height.

Remember: high yield ≠ safer. Pass-through vehicles (BDC / REIT) can show high distributions by design while carrying credit, rate, or occupancy risk.

Dividend safety rating

High yield ≠ safer — elevated yield often prices higher risk or return-of-capital. Payout streak (non-decreasing annual totals): ~35 years. Yahoo payoutRatio raw=0.77620006 (interpret cautiously).

Pass-through / BDC mechanics (deeper)

Ordinary corporate dividend — paid from corporate earnings/cash at the board’s discretion. Unlike BDCs/REITs, there is usually no pass-through distribution mandate. Coverage (earnings/FCF vs dividend), balance sheet, and streak matter more than yield height.

Advanced frame: for ordinary payers, focus on earnings/FCF coverage and balance-sheet flexibility. For REITs, focus on AFFO/FFO trends, occupancy, and debt ladders. For BDCs, focus on NII vs distribution, non-accruals, leverage vs statutory limits, and NAV drift. This page still is not a Crystal Signals entry card — no Counsel fire / manage stamp here.
