Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (NASDAQ:ITRN) Will Pay A US$0.39 Dividend In Two Days
It looks like Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (NASDAQ:ITRN) is about to go ex-dividend in the next two 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 important because any transaction on a stock needs to have been settled before the record date in order to be eligible for a dividend. Meaning, you will need to purchase Ituran Location and Control's shares before the 18th of June to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 2nd of July.
看起来Ituran Location and Control Ltd. (纳斯达克:ITRN)将在接下来的两天内进行除息。除息日是股东需要出现在公司股东名册上才能获得股息的日期的前一天。除息日非常重要,因为为了有资格获得股息,任何股票上的交易都需要在股东名册日之前完成结算。也就是说,您需要在6月18日之前购买Ituran Location and Control的股票才能获得分红,分红将于7月2日支付。
The company's upcoming dividend is US$0.39 a share, following on from the last 12 months, when the company distributed a total of US$1.56 per share to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Ituran Location and Control stock has a trailing yield of around 6.0% on the current share price of US$25.97. If you buy this business for its dividend, you should have an idea of whether Ituran Location and Control's dividend is reliable and sustainable. So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing.
公司即将派发的股息为每股0.39美元,继续自去年12个月来,公司向股东分配了每股总计1.56美元。根据过去一年的股息,Ituran Location and Control股票在当前25.97美元的股价上的年息率约为6.0%。如果您购买这家公司的股票是为了获得分红,您应该知道Ituran Location and Control的股息是否可靠且可持续。因此,我们需要检查分红支付是否得到覆盖,并且是否有盈利增长。
Dividends are usually paid out of company profits, so if a company pays out more than it earned then its dividend is usually at greater risk of being cut. Fortunately Ituran Location and Control's payout ratio is modest, at just 47% of profit. A useful secondary check can be to evaluate whether Ituran Location and Control generated enough free cash flow to afford its dividend. Luckily it paid out just 24% of its free cash flow last year.
分红通常来自公司利润,因此,如果公司支付的分红超过了所获得的利润,则其股息通常面临更大的风险。幸运的是,Ituran Location and Control的派息比率适中,仅占利润的47%。一个有用的二次检查是评估Ituran Location and Control是否产生足够的自由现金流来支付其股息。幸运的是,去年它支付的自由现金流仅占其总自由现金流的24%。
It's encouraging to see that the dividend is covered by both profit and cash flow. This generally suggests the dividend is sustainable, as long as earnings don't drop precipitously.
看到股息既有盈利也有现金流的覆盖是令人鼓舞的。这通常表明股息是可持续的,只要收益没有急剧下降。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
收益和股息一直在增长吗?
Businesses with shrinking earnings are tricky from a dividend perspective. If earnings fall far enough, the company could be forced to cut its dividend. So we're not too excited that Ituran Location and Control's earnings are down 2.7% a year over the past five years.
从股息角度来说,业绩下滑的企业比较棘手。如果盈利下降得足够多,公司可能不得不削减股息。因此,我们不太激动人心的发现过去五年Ituran Location and Control的盈利年增长率为2.7%。
Another key way to measure a company's dividend prospects is by measuring its historical rate of dividend growth. Ituran Location and Control has delivered 6.1% dividend growth per year on average over the past 10 years.
衡量公司股息前景的另一个重要方法是通过衡量其历史股息增长率来衡量。Ituran Location and Control在过去的10年中平均每年提供6.1%的股息增长。
To Sum It Up
总结一下
Has Ituran Location and Control 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. While it does have some good things going for it, we're a bit ambivalent and it would take more to convince us of Ituran Location and Control's dividend merits.
Ituran Location and Control是否拥有维持其股息支付的能力?每股收益意味着显著下降,尽管公司支付的比例低且保守,但总体上不太理想。看到盈利下降肯定不是好兆头,但至少在削减股息之前还有一些缓冲。虽然它确实有一些好处,但我们仍然持有一些矛盾的态度,我们需要更多的说服来证明Ituran Location and Control的股息价值。
In light of that, while Ituran Location and Control has an appealing dividend, it's worth knowing the risks involved with this stock. For example, we've found 1 warning sign for Ituran Location and Control that we recommend you consider before investing in the business.
