It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by earnings (130% payout ratio). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (7.3% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (6.5% net profit margin).
