Trican Well Service's (TSE:TCW) Upcoming Dividend Will Be Larger Than Last Year's

Trican Well Service Ltd.'s (TSE:TCW) dividend will be increasing from last year's payment of the same period to CA$0.05 on 31st of March. This will take the annual payment to 4.4% of the stock price, which is above what most companies in the industry pay. Check out our latest analysis for Trican Well Service We like to see robust dividend yields, but that doesn't matter if the payment isn't sustainable. However, Trican Well Service's earnings easily cover the dividend. This means that most of its earnings are being retained to grow the business. The next year is set to see EPS grow by 22.3%. If the dividend continues on this path, the payout ratio could be 24% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward. While the company has been paying a dividend for a long time, it has cut the dividend at least once in the last 10 years. The annual payment during the last 10 years was CA$0.30 in 2015, and the most recent fiscal year payment was CA$0.20. Doing the maths, this is a decline of about 4.0% per year. A company that decreases its dividend over time generally isn't what we are looking for. With a relatively unstable dividend, it's even more important to see if earnings per share is growing. Trican Well Service has impressed us by growing EPS at 69% per year over the past five years. Rapid earnings growth and a low payout ratio suggest this company has been effectively reinvesting in its business. Should that continue, this company could have a bright future. Overall, we think this could be an attractive income stock, and it is only getting better by paying a higher dividend this year. The company is easily earning enough to cover its dividend payments and it is great to see that these earnings are being translated into cash flow. Taking this all into consideration, this looks like it could be a good dividend opportunity. Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one.
