Dividend Payout Ratio
Shows the dividend payout ratio for the specific stock.
The dividend payout ratio indicates if the dividend payout is sustainable in the long run. Therefore,
1. A dividend payout under 50% is considered sustainable. The line will be green
2. A dividend payout over 50% and under 100%, the line will be yellow, is considered a stock to investigate since the dividend payout may have to be cut in the future which will cause the stock price to crash.
3. A dividend payout over 100%, the line will be red, is considered unsustainable and the dividend payout will most likely be cut in the near future. It can take up to a few years for the dividend cut to happen if the financials do not improve.
If the dividend payout ratio is over 100%, this means that the company is paying a dividend amount over $1 for every $1 earned. Therefore, the company must borrow money or find another source to pay the dividend amount that the company cannot afford to pay with the current earnings.
Calculating the dividend payout ratio:
Divide dividend paid by earnings after tax and multiplying the result by 100%.
