2008 Dividend Cuts
The following dividend stocks lowered their annual dividend payouts between 2007 and 2008, meaning that they paid out less money to shareholders in 2008 than they did in 2007. This sort of downtrend is generally a negative sign for any dividend stock, since dividend reductions usually point to cash problems and/or eroding fundamentals.
How We Calculated this List
To compile this list, we compared the total dividend payouts, including special one-time cash dividends that each company in our database made in 2007 to those in 2008. As such, some stocks on this list may have actually raised their annual payouts from 2007 to 2008, but as a result of paying a special one-time dividend in 2007, the total amount paid out would be higher in 2007 vs. 2008.
