Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (NASDAQ:VABK) Looks Interesting, And It's About To Pay A Dividend
Regular readers will know that we love our dividends at Simply Wall St, which is why it's exciting to see Virginia National Bankshares Corporation (NASDAQ:VABK) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 4 days. The ex-dividend date is one business day before the record date, which is the cut-off date for shareholders to be present on the company's books to be eligible for a dividend payment. It is important to be aware of the ex-dividend date because any trade on the stock needs to have been settled on or before the record date. This means that investors who purchase Virginia National Bankshares' shares on or after the 13th of March will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 28th of March.
普通读者会知道我们喜欢Simply Wall St的股息,这就是为什么弗吉尼亚国家银行股份公司(纳斯达克股票代码:VABK)即将在未来4天内进行除息交易令人兴奋的原因。除息日是记录日期前的一个工作日,这是股东在公司账簿上有资格获得股息的截止日期。注意除息日很重要,因为任何股票交易都必须在记录日当天或之前结算。这意味着在3月13日当天或之后购买弗吉尼亚国民银行股票的投资者将不会获得股息,股息将在3月28日支付。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.33 per share, and in the last 12 months, the company paid a total of US$1.32 per share.

Dividends are typically paid out of company income, so if a company pays out more than it earned, its dividend is usually at a higher risk of being cut. That's why it's good to see Virginia National Bankshares paying out a modest 37% of its earnings.
股息通常从公司收入中支付,因此,如果公司支付的股息超过其收入,则其股息被削减的风险通常更高。这就是为什么弗吉尼亚国民银行股份公司仅支付其收益的37%是件好事。
Generally speaking, the lower a company's payout ratios, the more resilient its dividend usually is.
一般而言,公司的派息率越低,其股息通常越有弹性。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
收益和股息一直在增长吗?
Businesses with strong growth prospects usually make the best dividend payers, because it's easier to grow dividends when earnings per share are improving. If earnings decline and the company is forced to cut its dividend, investors could watch the value of their investment go up in smoke. This is why it's a relief to see Virginia National Bankshares earnings per share are up 2.5% per annum over the last five years.
增长前景强劲的企业通常是最佳的股息支付者,因为当每股收益改善时,更容易增加股息。如果收益下降而公司被迫削减股息,投资者可能会看到他们的投资价值化为乌有。这就是为什么弗吉尼亚国民银行股票在过去五年中每股收益每年增长2.5%令人欣慰的原因。
Many investors will assess a company's dividend performance by evaluating how much the dividend payments have changed over time. In the last 10 years, Virginia National Bankshares has lifted its dividend by approximately 22% a year on average.

The Bottom Line

It has been growing its earnings per share somewhat in recent years, although it reinvests more than half its earnings in the business, which could suggest there are some growth projects that have not yet reached fruition.
