People's United Financial Inc. Message Board

Earnings are .67 and the divi is .64 Those numbers don't work. The divi is being partially paid by money that was raised in a public offering years ago and has yet to be constructively deployed. When there is no money left laying around to sustain this dividend there will not be a breakout there will be a breakdown.

I am long big time because I see no downside and like the 5 % divi. The stock however will be a slow grow unless a buyout happens. The senior officers are 57 ish so they will do all they can to hang on to there big fat salaries for quite some time and accumulate more options.
I have been there.
