New Risk • Apr 06
New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Dividend per share is over 13x earnings per share. The company is paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Dividend yield: 5.3% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. 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. Duyuru • Feb 27
