Dividends are a good sign. Nope, not really.
Silly, silly take.
Dividends can certainly be bad. Dividends can also be good. It all depends on that specific company at that specific time.
A large, stable, profitable company should certainly distribute some of that profit to the owners. Yes, the analysis should be, "Can we make more on this dime by reinvesting it?" If a company is paying a dividend because it is stable and profitable, that is good. If a company is paying a dividend to artificially bolster its share price, that is probably a bad sign.
YMMV
