A big dividend yield for a few years doesn't mean much if it can't be sustained. Based on the last payment, CURVES HOLDINGS was quite comfortably earning enough to cover the dividend. This indicates that a lot of the earnings are being reinvested into the business, with the aim of fueling growth.
The next year is set to see EPS grow by 11.4%. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be , which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.

CURVES HOLDINGS Is Still Building Its Track Record
The dividend's track record has been pretty solid, but with only 5 years of history we want to see a few more years of history before making any solid conclusions. Since 2020, the annual payment back then was ¥2.00, compared to the most recent full-year payment of ¥17.00. This implies that the company grew its distributions at a yearly rate of about 53% over that duration. The dividend has been growing rapidly, however with such a short payment history we can't know for sure if payment can continue to grow over the long term, so caution may be warranted.
The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow
Investors could be attracted to the stock based on the quality of its payment history. CURVES HOLDINGS has impressed us by growing EPS at 37% per year over the past five years. The company's earnings per share has grown rapidly in recent years, and it has a good balance between reinvesting and paying dividends to shareholders, so we think that CURVES HOLDINGS could prove to be a strong dividend payer.
CURVES HOLDINGS Looks Like A Great Dividend Stock
Overall, we like to see the dividend staying consistent, and we think CURVES HOLDINGS might even raise payments in the future. The company is easily earning enough to cover its dividend payments and it is great to see that these earnings are being translated into cash flow. All of these factors considered, we think this has solid potential as a dividend stock.
Market movements attest to how highly valued a consistent dividend policy is compared to one which is more unpredictable.
