RE:RE:RE:RE:ANNOUNCES JANUARY 2021 DIVIDEND AND REINSTATEMENT OF DRIPMy thoughts on the payout exactly, my first reaction was that maybe they are using this to conserve cash, apparently the market likes it

That's fair. It's possible that with these latest Covid restrictions, they may be above a 100% payout again (and it might be over 100% for a quarter or two). So this was their best option to make the dividend sustainable without having to look at another temporary cut. I really think we'll be largely done with Covid this spring, so I don't think they'll need to issue too many new shares at this low price.
