Dividend Yield: 8.1%

Pulse Seismic's dividend is well-covered by earnings, with a payout ratio of 21.8%, and cash flows, at 67.5%. Despite past volatility in payments, the recent 17% dividend increase to CAD 0.07 per share suggests improved reliability. The dividend yield of 8.11% ranks in the top quartile for Canadian stocks.
