Greene County Bancorp (NASDAQ:GCBC) Is Paying Out A Larger Dividend Than Last Year
Trump has pledged to "unleash" American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.
Greene County Bancorp's Dividend Forecasted To Be Well Covered By Earnings
The dividend yield is a little bit low, but sustainability of the payments is also an important part of evaluating an income stock.
Greene County Bancorp has established itself as a dividend paying company with over 10 years history of distributing earnings to shareholders. Using data from its latest earnings report, Greene County Bancorp's payout ratio sits at 21%, an extremely comfortable number that shows that it can pay its dividend.
If the trend of the last few years continues, EPS will grow by 9.5% over the next 12 months. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the future payout ratio could be 22% by next year, which is in a pretty sustainable range.

Greene County Bancorp Has A Solid Track Record
Even over a long history of paying dividends, the company's distributions have been remarkably stable. Since 2015, the annual payment back then was $0.18, compared to the most recent full-year payment of $0.36. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 7.2% per annum over that time. Dividends have grown at a reasonable rate over this period, and without any major cuts in the payment over time, we think this is an attractive combination as it provides a nice boost to shareholder returns.
The Dividend Has Growth Potential
Some investors will be chomping at the bit to buy some of the company's stock based on its dividend history. It's encouraging to see that Greene County Bancorp has been growing its earnings per share at 9.5% a year over the past five years. Greene County Bancorp definitely has the potential to grow its dividend in the future with earnings on an uptrend and a low payout ratio.
We Really Like Greene County Bancorp's Dividend
Overall, a dividend increase is always good, and we think that Greene County Bancorp is a strong income stock thanks to its track record and growing earnings. Earnings are easily covering distributions, and the company is generating plenty of cash. All of these factors considered, we think this has solid potential as a dividend stock.
Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one.

How L'Industrie Keeps Customers Happy Despite Long Lines
A version of this post originally appeared on July 23, 2025, in Eater and Punch's newsletter Pre Shift, a biweekly newsletter for the industry pro that sources first-person accounts from the bar and restaurant world. This send is the first in a three-part series on high-volume restaurants, presented by Square — the technology company that makes commerce and financial services easy and accessible. L'Industrie Pizzeria, according to co-owners Massimo Laveglia and Nick Baglivo Where: New York City The backstory: Tuscany native Massimo Laveglia opened his New York-style slice shop in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, in 2017, with Nick Baglivo joining in 2018 as general manager and co-owner. The staff went from the two of them and a dishwasher to about 80 people as business exploded during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, leading them to expand their original location twice, then add a second shop in Manhattan's West Village in 2023. Here, the partners discuss their business strategy and managing the ever-present lines. On long lines Laveglia: As much as people think that we love it, we hate lines. We're trying to be as fast as we can. The problem is the capacity we have in the oven: We can only make eight pies at a time. Baglivo: We can't even get another oven because we're low on electricity. We try not to think about the line too much. We're saying the quality of the pizza's got to be good. Somebody's going to wait 30 minutes, 40 minutes at most. Then we've got to make sure that they're getting an acceptable piece of pizza. On keeping waiting customers happy Baglivo: We have a great staff, a very charismatic staff. We hand out menus, we go down the line, we answer questions, we interact with the customers. We have the stationary [point-of-sale] system and then we have two handheld POS systems, so when we have a moment and we're stacked up on some pies, we'll have two or three people taking orders at a time. But just because you take the order fast, doesn't mean it gets made faster. We're doing our best to make sure people aren't complaining about the line because that's a big, big issue for some people. Nobody ever complained when Juliana's had a line, or Grimaldi's had a line. They only complain about us because we're young. On expanding Laveglia: The space next to the first pizzeria became available and our space was very tight, and the landlord [said,] 'If you want to take it, I'll give you a better deal.' We knocked down the wall and we were able to do more pizza. We changed some equipment; we introduced gelato to the shop. On building a following Baglivo: We're just being consistent in reinvesting in the products and getting better and better. When the pandemic hit, we were able to be consistently available for people in the neighborhood. When we closed for renovations, people really missed us. When we reopened right around spring, everybody was really excited to come back and see the new space and how much bigger we'd gotten. We've really succeeded as far as keeping the quality at such a high demand. Plain and burrata slices from L'Industrie. Luke Fortney/Eater NY On their seasonal patio Laveglia: When we expanded in 2021, we had more space, but it wasn't enough for all the customers. After COVID, we had to remove the patio structure. Now the patio is open from April to October. It's good that we have extra space, but it didn't really change the business. Baglivo: It keeps the customers from loitering in front of the [neighborhood] residents' apartments. When they don't have a place to be, it's a free-for-all and that creates more waste and more garbage. We're able to contain it now to the front of the shop and be mindful and diligent. We try our best. On their equipment Baglivo: When we first started working, we had very janky equipment. I remember on a Friday night, a stone broke and we chipped a piece of brick from the building to wedge the stone in there so we could get through the night. [When we expanded,] we reinvested in the shop and we [wound] up getting better ovens. We were doing our diligence looking for the best equipment and figuring out how to work with it. On customers placing orders with the wrong location Laveglia: In the beginning, it was a drama. It happened probably once a week. We had to change the website. When you go to the website now, before you place the order, the website asks you four or five times if you are in the right location. It doesn't happen anymore.

Amazon Clears Out This Anker 60,000mAh Power Bank for Nearly Free, Even Cheaper Than Prime Day
The Summer has a few weeks left, which means that there's still plenty of time to get outdoors and make the most of the nicer weather. That means you can go camping, or just enjoy a day trip to the beach, because for some of us, the weather's not going to last past September. If you want to do that while still enjoying some modern conveniences, then it's a good idea to get a portable power station to keep things charged up. Right now, you can get your hands on an amazing portable power bank from Anker with 41% off. That means that instead of the usual price of $150, it's down to just $88 while this discount lasts. We're not expecting this deal to last for very long though. See at Amazon A power station is a great way to keep a little bit of modern life in your return to the outdoors. For camping trips, that might mean electric lights and cooking, and for beach days, that could be just keeping your phone or Bluetooth speaker topped up. No matter what you're using it for, these can basically function as a few outlets outdoors, which can be amazing. The Anker Power Bank Power Station has a huge capacity of 60,000mAh, which means that you can comfortably charge your phones, tablets, laptops, and more with no issues at all.

If you're someone who happens to have a solar panel lying around, you can even use that to charge this power bank too. That means it can go even longer while outdoors, and helps it function as a solid backup option at home, just in case things go wrong with the mains. Sometimes it's just nice to know you've got something in reserve for if things go wrong. It's easy to understand why a lot of people would be happy to pay $150 for this amazing power station, so if the chance to save 41% on that is one that's not worth missing out on.
