Sustainability & Growth Dividend is not covered by earnings (300% earnings payout ratio). However, it is well covered by cash flows (6% cash payout ratio). The company is yet to establish a track record of dividend growth or stability as it hasn't paid a regular dividend for at least 2 years. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to grow by 233% to bring the payout ratio under control. EPS is expected to grow by 189% over the next 3 years, which means the dividend may need to be reduced to reach a sustainable payout ratio. 공시 • Feb 25
