Simply Wall St - – Full articleHow Does Jack in the Box Inc. (NASDAQ:JACK) Fare As A Dividend Stock?
(NASDAQ:JACK) from a dividend investor's perspective. Owning a strong business and reinvesting the dividends is widely seen as an attractive way of growing your wealth. Yet sometimes, investors buy a stock for its dividend and lose money because the share price falls by more than they earned in dividend payments. Investors might not know much about Jack in the Box's dividend prospects, even though it has been paying dividends for the last five years and offers a 1.9% yield. While the yield may not look too great, the relatively long payment history is interesting. The company also bought back stock equivalent to around 11% of market capitalisation this year. Before you buy any stock for its dividend however, you should always remember Warren Buffett's two rules: 1) Don't lose money, and 2) Remember rule #1. We'll run through some checks below to help with this. Click the interactive chart for our full dividend analysis NasdaqGS:JACK Historical Dividend Yield, June 25th 2019 Payout ratios Dividends are typically paid from company earnings. If a company pays more in dividends than it earned, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. So we need to form a view on if a company's dividend is sustainable, relative to its net profit after tax. In the last year, Jack in the Box paid out 35% of its profit as dividends. This is medium payout level that leaves enough capital in the business to fund opportunities that might arise, while also rewarding shareholders. Besides, if reinvestment opportunities dry up, the company has room to increase the dividend. In addition to comparing dividends against profits, we should inspect whether the company generated enough cash to pay its dividend. Jack in the Box's cash payout ratio in the last year was 42%, which suggests dividends were well covered by cash generated by the business. It's encouraging to see that the dividend is covered by both profit and cash flow. This generally suggests the dividend is sustainable, as long as earnings don't drop precipitously. Is Jack in the Box's Balance Sheet Risky? As Jack in the Box has a meaningful amount of debt, we need to check its balance sheet to see if the company might have debt risks. A rough way to check this is with these two simple ratios: a) net debt divided by EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation), and b) net interest cover. Net debt to EBITDA is a measure of a company's total debt. Net interest cover measures the ability to meet interest payments on debt. Essentially we check that a) a company does not have too much debt, and b) that it can afford to pay the interest. … Earnings per share have been growing at a good rate, and the company is paying less than half its earnings as dividends. … Conclusion When we look at a dividend stock, we need to form a judgement on whether the dividend will grow, if the company is able to maintain it in a wide range of economic circumstances, and if the dividend payout is sustainable.

(NASDAQ:JACK) a good dividend stock? How would you know? Dividend paying companies with growing earnings can be highly rewarding in the long term. On the other hand, investors have been known to buy a stock because of its yield, and then lose money if the company's dividend doesn't live up to expectations. Investors might not know much about Jack in the Box's dividend prospects, even though it has been paying dividends for the last five years and offers a 1.9% yield. A 1.9% yield is not inspiring, but the longer payment history has some appeal. The company also bought back stock equivalent to around 11% of market capitalisation this year. Some simple research can reduce the risk of buying Jack in the Box for its dividend - read on to learn more. Explore this interactive chart for our latest analysis on Jack in the Box! NasdaqGS:JACK Historical Dividend Yield, June 25th 2019 Payout ratios Dividends are usually paid out of company earnings. If a company is paying more than it earns, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. So we need to form a view on if a company's dividend is sustainable, relative to its net profit after tax. Jack in the Box paid out 35% of its profit as dividends, over the trailing twelve month period. This is a middling range that strikes a nice balance between paying dividends to shareholders, and retaining enough earnings to invest in future growth. One of the risks is that management reinvests the retained capital poorly instead of paying a higher dividend. We also measure dividends paid against a company's levered free cash flow, to see if enough cash was generated to cover the dividend. Of the free cash flow it generated last year, Jack in the Box paid out 42% as dividends, suggesting the dividend is affordable. It's positive to see that Jack in the Box's dividend is covered by both profits and cash flow, since this is generally a sign that the dividend is sustainable, and a lower payout ratio usually suggests a greater margin of safety before the dividend gets cut. Is Jack in the Box's Balance Sheet Risky? As Jack in the Box has a meaningful amount of debt, we need to check its balance sheet to see if the company might have debt risks. A rough way to check this is with these two simple ratios: a) net debt divided by EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation), and b) net interest cover. Net debt to EBITDA is a measure of a company's total debt. Net interest cover measures the ability to meet interest payments on debt. Essentially we check that a) a company does not have too much debt, and b) that it can afford to pay the interest. … A company paying out less than a quarter of its earnings as dividends, and growing earnings at more than 10% per annum, looks to be right in the cusp of its growth phase. … Conclusion To summarise, shareholders should always check that Jack in the Box's dividends are affordable, that its dividend payments are relatively stable, and that it has decent prospects for growing its earnings and dividend.
