A token dividend from an infrastructure builder — raised every year, covered twenty-seven times over. The $0.11 quarterly dividend ($0.44 annualized) is 3.7% of fiscal 2025 free cash flow, leverage is about 2.8× on an approximate basis, and the dividend has risen every year from $0.07 in 2022 to $0.11 declared November 18, 2025, paid October 9, 2026, with no cut. The 0.07% yield is under 1%, which grades the card warn under §1.

What this grade doesn't say: It screens the dividend only — covered, real, compounding. It says nothing about valuation or price: a well-covered payer can still be overpriced, and its price can still fall.
