> Trailing-year dividends down more than 25% on the year before, from a company that still paid something. The filing says why.

The other half of the dividend story. A trailing-year payout down more than a quarter on the year before, from a company that still paid something, is a board signalling that the cash is not there, often before the results say so. The `dividend(1y) > 0` leg keeps out the stocks that simply stopped, which are a different list. The wider universe is deliberate, because cuts cluster in the smaller names. Read it alongside `promoter_pledged_pct` and `interest_cost_growth_yoy`, which tend to tell the same story from the balance-sheet side.
