Smart Dividend Stocks has the last 30 years of (NYSE:AEP) AEP dividend history and American Electric Power Company historical dividend yield data. Our AEP dividend history analysis reviews all dividend payments and their ex-dividend dates as well as offering insight into the AEP Payout Ratio that shows what percentage of the AEP’s annual EPS is allocated to paying a dividend. While different industries have different appropriate payout ratios, typically payout ratios higher than 70% indicate a dividend cut may be on its way, while below 70% means the dividend is likely sustainable and there are additional earnings to support further dividend increases.
