My bad on DividendInvestor.com. I read the 65% payout ratio which I see now is 5 year. Value Line shows earnings per share at $2.76 and paying out $2.11. Forward looking VL predicts $3.10 per share and paying out $2.24. They are expecting a 6.3% dividend hike. It's possible that VL is using an estimate EPS for 2012. My other source is F.A.S.T. Graphs. They have the payout ratio at 68%. Now this is what's weird. I just looked up Standard & Poors. They have earnings at $2.03, so they match Yahoo who I think uses S&P for their stats, so that would make sense. S&P is forecasting $3.11 EPS for 2013, so they are in line with Value Line going forward. D's own web site shows $2.94 in earnings over the last four quarters. Qtr. Dec 11 ... 0.58 Qtr. Mar 12 ... 0.85 Qtr. Jun 12 ... 0.59 Qtr. Sep 12 ... 0.92 investors.dom.com
