SIIX's Earnings Easily Cover The Distributions

If the payments aren't sustainable, a high yield for a few years won't matter that much. However, SIIX's earnings easily cover the dividend. This means that most of its earnings are being retained to grow the business.

The next year is set to see EPS grow by 22.4%. If the dividend continues on this path, the payout ratio could be 26% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward.

The dividend has been growing very nicely for a number of years, and has given its shareholders some nice income in their portfolios.

We Could See SIIX's Dividend Growing
