Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (NYSE:ARCO) Will Pay A US$0.06 Dividend In Four Days
Regular readers will know that we love our dividends at Simply Wall St, which is why it's exciting to see Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc. (NYSE:ARCO) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next four days. The ex-dividend date is one business day before a company's record date, which is the date on which the company determines which shareholders are entitled to receive a dividend. The ex-dividend date is important because any transaction on a stock needs to have been settled before the record date in order to be eligible for a dividend. Accordingly, Arcos Dorados Holdings investors that purchase the stock on or after the 22nd 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,这就是为什么看到Arcos Dorados Holdings Inc.(纽约证券交易所代码:ARCO)即将在未来四天内进行除息交易令人兴奋的原因。除息日是公司记录日前的一个工作日,即公司确定哪些股东有权获得股息的日期。除息日很重要,因为任何股票交易都需要在记录日期之前结算才有资格获得股息。因此,在3月22日当天或之后购买股票的Arcos Dorados Holdings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$0.06 per share. Last year, in total, the company distributed US$0.19 to shareholders. Last year's total dividend payments show that Arcos Dorados Holdings has a trailing yield of 2.1% on the current share price of US$11.35. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. We need to see whether the dividend is covered by earnings and if it's growing.
该公司的下一次股息将为每股0.06美元。去年,该公司总共向股东分配了0.19美元。去年的股息支付总额显示,阿科斯多拉多斯控股的尾随收益率为2.1%,而目前的股价为11.35美元。股息是长期持有者投资回报的主要贡献者,但前提是继续支付股息。我们需要看看股息是否由收益支付,以及股息是否在增长。
Dividends are typically paid from company earnings. If a company pays more in dividends than it earned in profit, then the dividend could be unsustainable. Arcos Dorados Holdings is paying out just 22% of its profit after tax, which is comfortably low and leaves plenty of breathing room in the case of adverse events. A useful secondary check can be to evaluate whether Arcos Dorados Holdings generated enough free cash flow to afford its dividend. Arcos Dorados Holdings paid out more free cash flow than it generated - 183%, to be precise - last year, which we think is concerningly high. It's hard to consistently pay out more cash than you generate without either borrowing or using company cash, so we'd wonder how the company justifies this payout level.
股息通常从公司收益中支付。如果一家公司支付的股息超过其利润,那么分红可能是不可持续的。Arcos Dorados Holdings仅支付了其税后利润的22%,这一比例低得可观,为不良事件留出了充足的喘息空间。评估Arcos Dorados Holdings是否产生了足够的自由现金流来支付其股息,这是一种有用的辅助支票。Arcos Dorados Holdings支付的自由现金流超过了去年的自由现金流,准确地说是183%,我们认为这一数字高得令人担忧。如果不借款或使用公司现金,就很难持续支付比您赚取的更多的现金,因此我们想知道公司如何证明这种支出水平是合理的。
While Arcos Dorados Holdings's dividends were covered by the company's reported profits, cash is somewhat more important, so it's not great to see that the company didn't generate enough cash to pay its dividend. Were this to happen repeatedly, this would be a risk to Arcos Dorados Holdings's ability to maintain its dividend.
尽管Arcos Dorados Holdings的股息由该公司报告的利润支付,但现金更为重要,因此看到该公司没有足够的现金来支付股息并不是一件好事。如果这种情况反复发生,这将对Arcos Dorados Holdings维持股息的能力构成风险。

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 business enters a downturn and the dividend is cut, the company could see its value fall precipitously. It's encouraging to see Arcos Dorados Holdings has grown its earnings rapidly, up 37% a year for the past five years. Earnings have been growing quickly, but we're concerned dividend payments consumed most of the company's cash flow over the past year.
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。如果业务陷入低迷并削减股息,该公司的价值可能会急剧下降。令人鼓舞的是,阿科斯多拉多斯控股公司的收益迅速增长,在过去五年中每年增长37%。收益一直在快速增长,但我们担心股息支付在过去一年中消耗了公司的大部分现金流。
The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. Arcos Dorados Holdings's dividend payments are effectively flat on where they were 10 years ago.
大多数投资者评估公司股息前景的主要方式是查看历史股息增长率。Arcos Dorados Holdings的股息支付额实际上与10年前持平。
To Sum It Up
总结一下
Is Arcos Dorados Holdings an attractive dividend stock, or better left on the shelf? We're glad to see the company has been improving its earnings per share while also paying out a low percentage of income. However, it's not great to see it paying out what we see as an uncomfortably high percentage of its cash flow. All things considered, we are not particularly enthused about Arcos Dorados Holdings from a dividend perspective.
Arcos Dorados Holdings是一只有吸引力的股息股票,还是最好留在架子上?我们很高兴看到该公司一直在提高每股收益,同时支付的收入比例也很低。但是,看到它支付了我们认为高得令人不安的现金流比例并不是一件好事。综上所述,从股息的角度来看,我们对Arcos Dorados Holdings并不是特别热情。
