IBM Spinoff Kyndryl Starts Quest for Growth – WSJ

Pinnacle West Capital’s dividend upgraded to safe by Simply Safe Dividends

Using Pinnacle’s reaffirmed 5% to 7% long-term annual EPS growth target, and assuming management continues to grow the dividend about 2% per year, we estimate the firm won’t reach its payout ratio target until at least 2025.While that is a long time to wait, it beats a dividend cut. And management’s updated financial plan seems likely to protect the payout while Pinnacle rebuilds its earnings power and files another rate case.As a result, we are upgrading Pinnacle’s Dividend Safety Score from Borderline Safe to Safe.Pinnacle Defends Dividend, Expects to Return Payout Ratio to Healthier Level as Earnings Rebuild (simplysafedividends.com)
