SIIX's Earnings Easily Cover The Distributions

Impressive dividend yields are good, but this doesn't matter much if the payments can't be sustained. 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 23.7%. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the payout ratio could be 29% by next year, which is in a pretty sustainable range.

SIIX Has A Solid Track Record

The company has an extended history of paying stable dividends. Since 2014, the dividend has gone from ¥16.00 total annually to ¥48.00. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 12% a year over that time. It is good to see that there has been strong dividend growth, and that there haven't been any cuts for a long time.

SIIX Could Grow Its Dividend

The company's investors will be pleased to have been receiving dividend income for some time. SIIX has impressed us by growing EPS at 5.8% per year over the past five years. A low payout ratio and decent growth suggests that the company is reinvesting well, and it also has plenty of room to increase the dividend over time.
