Banco di Desio e della Brianza's Dividend Forecasted To Be Well Covered By Earnings
Impressive dividend yields are good, but this doesn't matter much if the payments can't be sustained.
Banco di Desio e della Brianza has a long history of paying out dividends, with its current track record at a minimum of 10 years. Based on Banco di Desio e della Brianza's last earnings report, the payout ratio is at a decent 25%, meaning that the company is able to pay out its dividend with a bit of room to spare.
If the trend of the last few years continues, EPS will grow by 12.6% over the next 12 months. If the dividend continues on this path, the future payout ratio could be 31% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward.
Dividend Volatility
Although the company has a long dividend history, it has been cut at least once in the last 10 years. The annual payment during the last 10 years was €0.105 in 2013, and the most recent fiscal year payment was €0.1969. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 6.5% a year over that time. We have seen cuts in the past, so while the growth looks promising we would be a little bit cautious about its track record.
The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow
With a relatively unstable dividend, it's even more important to evaluate if earnings per share is growing, which could point to a growing dividend in the future. It's encouraging to see that Banco di Desio e della Brianza has been growing its earnings per share at 13% a year over the past five years. With a decent amount of growth and a low payout ratio, we think this bodes well for Banco di Desio e della Brianza's prospects of growing its dividend payments in the future.
