I understand and agree with the overall theme of your post (i.e., "it has nothing to do with the companies performance, prudence of such a move, or their ability to do so"). However, I must disagree with the statement that, "... very few companies outside utilities have ratios like these." I believe that many dividend-paying companies have payout percentages in the range of 10% to 30%. For instance, Ford, GM, Motorola, Bankers Trust, J.P. Morgan, Rubbermaid, RPM Inc. and others all have payout percentages that are within or much higher than PBY's payout range over the last 7 years.

Best wishes,
