Nisshin Seifun Group's Projected Earnings Seem Likely To Cover Future Distributions

Impressive dividend yields are good, but this doesn't matter much if the payments can't be sustained. Based on the last payment, Nisshin Seifun Group was quite comfortably earning enough to cover the dividend. This indicates that quite a large proportion of earnings is being invested back into the business.

The next year is set to see EPS grow by 4.8%. If the dividend continues on this path, the payout ratio could be 50% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward.
