Toho Co., Ltd., Annual General Meeting, May 28, 2026 Toho Co., Ltd., Annual General Meeting, May 28, 2026. New Risk • Feb 25
New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by cash flows. Cash payout ratio: 190% Dividend yield: 6.8% This is considered a minor risk. Dividends are ultimately paid out of the company's available cash reserves. Companies that pay out too much of their cash flow are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If cash flow growth slows or cash flows fall, then there may not be enough cash reserves to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to take on debt to maintain the dividend. This risk is mitigated by the fact the dividend is covered by earnings, however, cash flows are generally more important. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company.
