Why You Might Be Interested In PIX Transmissions Limited (NSE:PIXTRANS) For Its Upcoming Dividend

Simply Wall St

It looks like PIX Transmissions Limited (NSE:PIXTRANS) is about to go ex-dividend in the next 3 days. The ex-dividend date is commonly two business days before the record date, which is the cut-off date for shareholders to be present on the company's books to be eligible for a dividend payment. The ex-dividend date is important as the process of settlement involves at least two full business days. So if you miss that date, you would not show up on the company's books on the record date. Meaning, you will need to purchase PIX Transmissions' shares before the 18th of July to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 25th of August.

The company's next dividend payment will be ₹9.00 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of ₹9.00 to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, PIX Transmissions has a trailing yield of 0.6% on the current stock price of ₹1542.70. Dividends are an important source of income to many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining those dividends. We need to see whether the dividend is covered by earnings and if it's growing.

Dividends are typically paid from company earnings. If a company pays more in dividends than it earned in profit, then the dividend could be unsustainable. PIX Transmissions has a low and conservative payout ratio of just 11% of its income after tax. A useful secondary check can be to evaluate whether PIX Transmissions generated enough free cash flow to afford its dividend. It paid out 11% of its free cash flow as dividends last year, which is conservatively low.

It's encouraging to see that the dividend is covered by both profit and cash flow. This generally suggests the dividend is sustainable, as long as earnings don't drop precipitously.
