Riverstone Holdings Limited's Financials Are Too Obscure To Link With Current Share Price Momentum: What's In Store For the Stock?

Riverstone has a three-year median payout ratio of 90% (implying that it keeps only 9.8% of its profits), meaning that it pays out most of its profits to shareholders as dividends, and as a result, the company has seen low earnings growth.

In addition, Riverstone has been paying dividends over a period of at least ten years suggesting that keeping up dividend payments is way more important to the management even if it comes at the cost of business growth.

Despite the high ROE, the company has a disappointing earnings growth number, due to its poor rate of reinvestment into its business.
