Rayonier cuts dividend by 16.7%
U.S. forestry company Rayonier will cut its dividend from $0.30 to $0.25 per share.

According to CEO David Nunes the dividend reduction will provide the necessary balance between the near term financial goals and long-term shareholder interests.
The indicated dividend yield for Rayonier (ticker RYN) now is 3.5% based on Monday's closing price of $28.82.
