New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings. The company is paying a dividend despite being loss-making. Dividend yield: 1.7% This is considered a minor risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future.
