Simply Wall St ·  2023/09/13 06:10

Computime Group Limited (HKG:320) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next two days. 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 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 Computime Group's shares before the 15th of September to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 9th of October.

Computime Group Limited(HKG:320)即將在未來兩天進行除股息交易。除息日期通常被設定為記錄日期之前的一個工作日,也就是你必須作為股東出現在公司賬簿上才能獲得股息的截止日期。除息日期很重要,因為股票的任何交易都需要在記錄日期之前結算,才有資格獲得股息。這意味著,你需要在9月15日之前購買Computime Group的股票才能獲得股息,股息將在10月9日支付。

The company's next dividend payment will be HK$0.021 per share, and in the last 12 months, the company paid a total of HK$0.021 per share. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Computime Group stock has a trailing yield of around 5.8% on the current share price of HK$0.36. Dividends are an important source of income to many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining those dividends. We need to see whether the dividend is covered by earnings and if it's growing.

該公司下一次派發股息為每股0.021港元,過去12個月,公司共派發每股0.021港元。根據去年的支付金額,Computime Group股票的往績收益率約為5.8%,目前股價為0.36港元。對許多股東來說,股息是一個重要的收入來源,但企業的健康狀況對維持這些股息至關重要。我們需要看看股息是否由收益覆蓋,以及是否在增長。

查看我們對Computime Group的最新分析

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. Its dividend payout ratio is 79% of profit, which means the company is paying out a majority of its earnings. The relatively limited profit reinvestment could slow the rate of future earnings growth. It could become a concern if earnings started to decline. 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. What's good is that dividends were well covered by free cash flow, with the company paying out 18% of its cash flow last year.

股息通常從公司利潤中支付,因此,如果一家公司支付的股息超過了它的收入,那麼它的股息通常被削減的風險更大。其股息支付率為利潤的79%,這意味著該公司支付了大部分收益。相對有限的利潤再投資可能會減緩未來收益的增長速度。如果收益開始下降,這可能會成為一個令人擔憂的問題。然而,在評估股息可持續性時,現金流通常比利潤更重要,因此我們應該始終檢查公司是否產生了足夠的現金來支付股息。值得慶幸的是,自由現金流很好地覆蓋了股息,該公司去年支付了18%的現金流。

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.

看到利潤和現金流都涵蓋了股息,這是令人鼓舞的。這通常表明,只要收益不會急劇下降,股息是可持續的。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?

盈利和股息一直在增長嗎?

Companies with falling earnings are riskier for dividend shareholders. Investors love dividends, so if earnings fall and the dividend is reduced, expect a stock to be sold off heavily at the same time. With that in mind, we're discomforted by Computime Group's 29% per annum decline in earnings in the past five years. Such a sharp decline casts doubt on the future sustainability of the dividend.

盈利下降的公司對股息股東來說風險更大。投資者喜歡分紅,所以如果收益下降,股息減少,預計一隻股票將同時被大量拋售。考慮到這一點,我們對Computime Group在過去五年中收入以每年29%的速度下降感到不安。如此大幅的下跌讓人對紅利未來的可持續性產生了懷疑。

The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. Computime Group has delivered an average of 1.6% per year annual increase in its dividend, based on the past 10 years of dividend payments.

大多數投資者評估一家公司的股息前景的主要方式是檢查歷史上的股息增長率。根據過去10年的股息支付,Computime Group的股息平均每年增長1.6%。

To Sum It Up

總結一下

Is Computime Group an attractive dividend stock, or better left on the shelf? The payout ratios are within a reasonable range, implying the dividend may be sustainable. Declining earnings are a serious concern, however, and could pose a threat to the dividend in future. It might be worth researching if the company is reinvesting in growth projects that could grow earnings and dividends in the future, but for now we're not all that optimistic on its dividend prospects.

Computime Group是一隻有吸引力的股息股票,還是更好地被擱置?派息率在合理範圍內,意味著股息可能是可持續的。然而,盈利下降是一個嚴重的問題,可能會對未來的股息構成威脅。如果該公司正在對未來可能增加收益和股息的增長專案進行再投資,這可能是值得研究的,但目前我們對其股息前景並不樂觀。

With that being said, if dividends aren't your biggest concern with Computime Group, you should know about the other risks facing this business. To help with this, we've discovered 3 warning signs for Computime Group that you should be aware of before investing in their shares.
