New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The company has a short dividend paying track record. Continuous dividend paying years: 1 Dividend yield: 1.6% This is considered a minor risk. For dividend focussed investors, companies that have not established a long-term track record of consistently maintaining or growing dividends are less attractive than those companies that have a long track record. Those that have a long track record have proven their underlying business is stable enough to consistently maintain or grow the dividend and that the company considers maintaining the dividend to be one of its priorities. 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.
