What’s driving the score
100 is the best score. The small percentage shows how much each factor counts. Hover a factor name for what it means. “n/a” means that factor doesn’t apply to this type of company (banks and REITs work differently), so the other factors count more.
The bottom line
As of 2026-07-29, PriceSmart (PSMT) scores 84.5 out of 100 on the Dividend Safety Checker scale, which rates its dividend Very Safe. Stocks with this rating almost never cut: none did from 2020 through 2025 in our testing, and only about 1 in 375 across the full 18 years.
The strongest parts of the picture are debt load, years since last cut, dividend growth (1y). The main things holding the score back are free cash flow payout (scoring 62 out of 100) and profit steadiness (79 out of 100). How much of the company's spare cash goes to the dividend. Above 100% means it pays out more than it brings in.
PriceSmart currently yields 0.7%, last cut its dividend about 19 years ago, pays out 71% of its free cash flow as dividends. The score updates weekly as new filings and prices come in.
