Income Investors Should Know That Lear Corporation (NYSE:LEA) Goes Ex-Dividend Soon
Income Investors Should Know That Lear Corporation (NYSE:LEA) Goes Ex-Dividend Soon
Regular readers will know that we love our dividends at Simply Wall St, which is why it's exciting to see Lear Corporation (NYSE:LEA) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 4 days. The ex-dividend date occurs one day 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 an important date to be aware of as any purchase of the stock made on or after this date might mean a late settlement that doesn't show on the record date. Accordingly, Lear investors that purchase the stock on or after the 5th of December will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 26th of December.
普通读者会知道我们喜欢Simply Wall St的股息,这就是为什么看到李尔公司(纽约证券交易所代码:LEA)即将在未来4天内进行除息交易令人兴奋的原因。除息日发生在记录日期的前一天,也就是股东需要在公司账簿上登记才能获得股息的日子。除息日是一个需要注意的重要日期,因为在该日期或之后进行的任何股票购买都可能意味着未在记录日期显示的延迟结算。因此,在12月5日当天或之后购买股票的李尔投资者将不会获得股息,该股息将在12月26日支付。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.77 per share, and in the last 12 months, the company paid a total of US$3.08 per share. Looking at the last 12 months of distributions, Lear has a trailing yield of approximately 2.3% on its current stock price of $134.81. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. As a result, readers should always check whether Lear has been able to grow its dividends, or if the dividend might be cut.
该公司的下一次股息将为每股0.77美元,在过去的12个月中,该公司共支付每股3.08美元。纵观过去12个月的分配,李尔目前的股价为134.81美元,其尾随收益率约为2.3%。股息是长期持有者投资回报的主要贡献者,但前提是股息必须继续支付。因此,读者应时刻检查李尔是否能够增加股息,或者股息是否可能被削减。

If a company pays out more in dividends than it earned, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. Lear paid out a comfortable 32% of its profit last year. Yet cash flow is typically more important than profit for assessing dividend sustainability, so we should always check if the company generated enough cash to afford its dividend. It distributed 31% of its free cash flow as dividends, a comfortable payout level for most companies.
如果一家公司支付的股息多于其收入,那么分红可能会变得不可持续,这并不是一个理想的情况。去年,李尔支付了其利润的32%。然而,在评估股息可持续性方面,现金流通常比利润更重要,因此我们应始终检查公司是否产生了足够的现金来支付股息。它将自由现金流的31%作为股息分配,对于大多数公司来说,这是一个舒适的支付水平。
It's positive to see that Lear's dividend is covered by both profits and cash flow, since this is generally a sign that the dividend is sustainable, and a lower payout ratio usually suggests a greater margin of safety before the dividend gets cut.
可以肯定的是,李尔的股息由利润和现金流共同支付,因为这通常表明股息是可持续的,而较低的派息率通常表明在削减股息之前有更大的安全余地。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
收益和股息一直在增长吗?
When earnings decline, dividend companies become much harder to analyse and own safely. Investors love dividends, so if earnings fall and the dividend is reduced, expect a stock to be sold off heavily at the same time. Lear's earnings per share have fallen at approximately 12% a year over the previous five years. When earnings per share fall, the maximum amount of dividends that can be paid also falls.
当收益下降时,股息公司变得更难分析和安全持有。投资者喜欢分红,因此,如果收益下降而股息减少,预计股票将同时被大量抛售。在过去五年中,李尔的每股收益每年下降约12%。当每股收益下降时,可以支付的最大股息金额也会下降。
The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. In the last 10 years, Lear has lifted its dividend by approximately 16% a year on average.
大多数投资者评估公司股息前景的主要方法是检查历史股息增长率。在过去的10年中,李尔平均每年将股息提高约16%。
The Bottom Line
底线
Has Lear got what it takes to maintain its dividend payments? Earnings per share are down meaningfully, although at least the company is paying out a low and conservative percentage of both its earnings and cash flow. It's definitely not great to see earnings falling, but at least there may be some buffer before the dividend needs to be cut. Overall, it's hard to get excited about Lear from a dividend perspective.
李尔有维持股息支付所需的条件吗?尽管至少该公司支付的收益和现金流比例较低且保守,但每股收益却大幅下降。看到收益下降绝对不是一件好事,但至少在需要削减股息之前可能会有一些缓冲。总体而言,从股息的角度来看,很难对李尔感到兴奋。
