And they are stupidly still paying a 15% dividend.
It is philosophically incorrect to say it in this way about a public company. Unless you know of one that floats its payout as a % of share price?
The company sets the amount of the payout. The market sets the % yield by moving share price around.
When corrected, your statement implies that the market is stupid, which is another idea I'll not agree with. I think the market is worried about VET's cash flow. It's not the % yield that determines dividend sustainability; it's cash flow.
