Kurabo Industries' Payment Has Solid Earnings Coverage
We like to see robust dividend yields, but that doesn't matter if the payment isn't sustainable. However, Kurabo Industries' earnings easily cover the dividend. This means that most of its earnings are being retained to grow the business.
Over the next year, EPS could expand by 12.1% if recent trends continue. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 30%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.
Kurabo Industries Has A Solid Track Record
The company has a sustained record of paying dividends with very little fluctuation. The annual payment during the last 10 years was ¥50.00 in 2014, and the most recent fiscal year payment was ¥120.00. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 9.1% per annum over that time. Companies like this can be very valuable over the long term, if the decent rate of growth can be maintained.
The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow
Investors could be attracted to the stock based on the quality of its payment history. Kurabo Industries has impressed us by growing EPS at 12% per year over the past five years. Kurabo Industries definitely has the potential to grow its dividend in the future with earnings on an uptrend and a low payout ratio.
We Really Like Kurabo Industries' Dividend
In summary, it is always positive to see the dividend being increased, and we are particularly pleased with its overall sustainability. Earnings are easily covering distributions, and the company is generating plenty of cash. All of these factors considered, we think this has solid potential as a dividend stock.
It's important to note that companies having a consistent dividend policy will generate greater investor confidence than those having an erratic one.
