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: 1.4% 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.

Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. However, this risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by cash flows. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings have declined by 41% per year over the past 5 years. Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite being loss-making.
