Here's What We Like About ALBIS Leasing's (ETR:ALG) Upcoming Dividend

Yahoo

4 days ago

It looks like ALBIS Leasing AG (ETR:ALG) is about to go ex-dividend in the next 3 days. The ex-dividend date generally occurs two days before the record date, which is the day on which shareholders need to be on the company's books in order to receive a dividend. The ex-dividend date is of consequence because whenever a stock is bought or sold, the trade can take two business days or more to settle. Thus, you can purchase ALBIS Leasing's shares before the 3rd of July in order to receive the dividend, which the company will pay on the 7th of July.
The company's upcoming dividend is €0.09 a share, following on from the last 12 months, when the company distributed a total of €0.09 per share to shareholders. Calculating the last year's worth of payments shows that ALBIS Leasing has a trailing yield of 3.2% on the current share price of €2.78. We love seeing companies pay a dividend, but it's also important to be sure that laying the golden eggs isn't going to kill our golden goose! We need to see whether the dividend is covered by earnings and if it's growing.

Dividends are usually paid out of company profits, so if a company pays out more than it earned then its dividend is usually at greater risk of being cut. That's why it's good to see ALBIS Leasing paying out a modest 30% of its earnings.
Companies that pay out less in dividends than they earn in profits generally have more sustainable dividends. The lower the payout ratio, the more wiggle room the business has before it could be forced to cut the dividend.

Stocks in companies that generate sustainable earnings growth often make the best dividend prospects, as it is easier to lift the dividend when earnings are rising. If earnings decline and the company is forced to cut its dividend, investors could watch the value of their investment go up in smoke. That's why it's comforting to see ALBIS Leasing's earnings have been skyrocketing, up 26% per annum for the past five years.
Another key way to measure a company's dividend prospects is by measuring its historical rate of dividend growth. In the last nine years, ALBIS Leasing has lifted its dividend by approximately 11% a year on average. It's exciting to see that both earnings and dividends per share have grown rapidly over the past few years.
Is ALBIS Leasing worth buying for its dividend? Companies like ALBIS Leasing that are growing rapidly and paying out a low fraction of earnings, are usually reinvesting heavily in their business. This is one of the most attractive investment combinations under this analysis, as it can create substantial value for investors over the long run. We think this is a pretty attractive combination, and would be interested in investigating ALBIS Leasing more closely.
With that in mind, a critical part of thorough stock research is being aware of any risks that stock currently faces. Our analysis shows 4 warning signs for ALBIS Leasing that we strongly recommend you have a look at before investing in the company.
