Dividend Yield: 3.2%

Hershey's dividend yield of 3.21% is below the top tier of US dividend payers, but its long-standing history of reliable and growing dividends, now at its 383rd consecutive payment, underscores stability. With a payout ratio of 81.7%, dividends are covered by earnings and cash flows, though high debt levels warrant caution. Despite recent declines in net income to US$276.32 million for Q3 2025, the company raised full-year earnings guidance slightly above previous expectations.

Rayonier

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆

Overview: Rayonier is a leading timberland real estate investment trust with assets in highly productive softwood timber regions in the United States and has a market cap of approximately $3.58 billion.

Operations: Rayonier's revenue is primarily derived from its Real Estate segment at $713.07 million, followed by Southern Timber at $229.02 million, and Pacific Northwest Timber at $82.49 million.

Dividend Yield: 12.5%

Rayonier's dividend yield of 12.55% ranks in the top 25% of US payers, with stable growth over the past decade. However, its high cash payout ratio suggests dividends are not well covered by free cash flows, raising sustainability concerns despite a low earnings payout ratio. Recent earnings showed significant year-over-year growth to US$43.2 million for Q3 2025, but future earnings are forecasted to decline sharply. A recent share buyback and special dividend reflect strategic capital allocation amidst an all-stock merger with Potlatchdeltic Corporation.
