Just Four Days Till Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NASDAQ:SIMO) Will Be Trading Ex-Dividend
Readers hoping to buy Silicon Motion Technology Corporation (NASDAQ:SIMO) for its dividend will need to make their move shortly, as the stock is about to trade ex-dividend. The ex-dividend date is usually set to be one business day before the record date which is the cut-off date on which you must be present on the company's books as a shareholder in order to receive the 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. Meaning, you will need to purchase Silicon Motion Technology's shares before the 8th of August to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 22nd of August.
那些想要购买慧荣科技股票以获取分红的读者需要尽快行动了,因为它即将进行红利除权交易。红利除权日通常设置在股东名册截止日期前一天,这是您必须以股东的身份存在于公司的账本上才能获得分红的截止日期。红利除权日是一个需要注意的重要日期,因为在该日期之后或之后购买该股票可能意味着在股东登记日之前无法结算的迟到到账。这意味着,您需要在8月8日之前购买慧荣科技的股票才能获得分红,分红将于8月22日支付。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.4975 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of US$2.00 to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Silicon Motion Technology stock has a trailing yield of around 3.2% on the current share price of US$62.50. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. That's why we should always check whether the dividend payments appear sustainable, and if the company is growing.
该公司下一个分红支付额为每股0.4975美元,在去年共向股东支付了2.00美元。基于去年的分红付款,慧荣科技股票在当前股价62.50美元的基础上有大约3.2%的追踪收益率。对于长期股东来说,股息是投资回报的主要贡献者,但前提是分红仍在持续支付。因此,我们始终应该检查分红支付是否可持续,以及公司是否在增长。
If a company pays out more in dividends than it earned, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. Fortunately Silicon Motion Technology's payout ratio is modest, at just 32% of profit. 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 33% 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金额超过了其收入,那么分红可能变得不可持续-这绝非理想情况。幸运的是,慧荣科技的派息比率不高,仅占利润的32%。然而,对于评估分红可持续性来说,现金流通常比利润更重要,因此我们始终应该检查公司是否产生了足够的现金来支付其股息。它将其自由现金流的33%分配为股息,对于大多数公司来说这是一个舒适的分红水平。
It's positive to see that Silicon Motion Technology'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.
慧荣科技的股息得到了利润和现金流的双重支持是令人欣慰的,因为这通常是分红可持续的迹象,而较低的派息比率通常表明分红减少前具有更大的安全保障。

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 decline and the company is forced to cut its dividend, investors could watch the value of their investment go up in smoke. Readers will understand then, why we're concerned to see Silicon Motion Technology's earnings per share have dropped 8.5% a year over the past five years. Such a sharp decline casts doubt on the future sustainability of the dividend.
从分红的角度来看,收益下降的企业变得棘手。如果盈利下降,公司被迫削减其分红,那么投资者可能会看到他们的投资价值灰飞烟灭的情景。读者会理解,为什么我们关注慧荣科技每股收益在过去五年中年均下降了8.5%。如此大幅下降使得分红的未来可持续性产生了疑虑。
Many investors will assess a company's dividend performance by evaluating how much the dividend payments have changed over time. In the past 10 years, Silicon Motion Technology has increased its dividend at approximately 13% a year on average.
许多投资者会通过评估公司分红支付有多少变化来评估公司的分红表现。在过去的10年中,慧荣科技的股息平均每年增长约13%。
To Sum It Up
总结一下
Is Silicon Motion Technology an attractive dividend stock, or better left on the shelf? 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 we're not hugely bearish on the stock, but there are likely better dividend investments out there.
慧荣科技是否是一个有吸引力的股息股票,还是只能存放在架子上?每股收益有了明显下降,尽管公司支付的利润和现金流占比都很低和保守。看到盈利下降确实不太好,但至少在股息需要削减之前,可能还有一些缓冲。总的来说,我们对该股不是非常看淡,但可能会有更好的分红投资。
In light of that, while Silicon Motion Technology has an appealing dividend, it's worth knowing the risks involved with this stock. Every company has risks, and we've spotted 2 warning signs for Silicon Motion Technology you should know about.
