Dividend of лв0.052 announced Shareholders will receive a dividend of лв0.052.

The dividend has increased by an average of 12% per year over the past 5 years. However, payments have been volatile during that time. The company's earnings per share (EPS) would need to decline by 15% to shift the payout ratio to a potentially unsustainable range, which is less than the 39% EPS decline seen over the last 5 years.

New major risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 90% of Bulgarian stocks, typically moving 15% a week. This is considered a major risk. Share price volatility increases the risk of potential losses in the short-term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks.

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: 1.5% 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. If earnings growth slows or earnings fall, then there may not be enough earnings to maintain the same dividend. 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.
