From Forbes:
Today I’m bringing you a round of good news … and a round of bad news.
The good? So far, this year’s been better than last for dividend hounds (like us) hoping to dodge a nasty payout cut.
According to Standard & Poor’s, 85 American companies cut their payouts in January and February. That’s still a big number, but it’s down sharply from 119 in the first two months of 2016.
