Is It Smart To Buy Weis Markets, Inc. (NYSE:WMK) Before It Goes Ex-Dividend?
Weis Markets, Inc. (NYSE:WMK) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next three 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. 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. Thus, you can purchase Weis Markets' shares before the 3rd of November in order to receive the dividend, which the company will pay on the 20th of November.
Weis Markets公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:WMK)將在未來三天內進行除股息交易。除股息日期是記錄日期之前的一個工作日,這是股東在公司賬面上有資格獲得股息支付的截止日期。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。因此,您可以在11月3日之前購買Weis Markets的股票以獲得股息,該公司將在11月20日支付股息。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.34 per share, and in the last 12 months, the company paid a total of US$1.36 per share. Last year's total dividend payments show that Weis Markets has a trailing yield of 2.1% on the current share price of $65.7. Dividends are an important source of income to many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining those dividends. So we need to investigate whether Weis Markets can afford its dividend, and if the dividend could grow.
該公司的下一次股息支付將為每股0.34美元,在最近12個月中,該公司總共支付了每股1.36美元。去年的總股息支付顯示,Weis Markets目前的股價為65.7美元,往績收益率為2.1%。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。因此,我們需要調查Weis Markets是否能夠支付得起股息,以及股息是否會增長。

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. Fortunately Weis Markets's payout ratio is modest, at just 31% of profit. A useful secondary check can be to evaluate whether Weis Markets generated enough free cash flow to afford its dividend. Thankfully its dividend payments took up just 38% of the free cash flow it generated, which is a comfortable payout ratio.
股息通常從公司收益中支付。如果一家公司支付的股息超過了它的利潤,那麼股息可能是不可持續的。幸運的是,Weis Markets的派息率不高,僅佔利潤的31%。一個有用的次要檢查可以是評估Weis Markets是否產生了足夠的自由現金流來支付股息。值得慶幸的是,它的股息支付僅佔其產生的自由現金流的38%,這是一個令人滿意的派息率。
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 consistently growing earnings per share generally make the best dividend stocks, as they usually find it easier to grow dividends per share. 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 Weis Markets earnings per share are up 3.6% per annum over the last five years. Recent earnings growth has been limited. Yet there are several ways to grow the dividend, and one of them is simply that the company may choose to pay out more of its earnings as dividends.
每股收益持續增長的公司通常會獲得最好的股息股票,因為它們通常會發現更容易增加每股股息。如果收益下降,該公司被迫削減股息,投資者可能會眼睜睜地看著他們的投資價值化為烏有。這就是為什麼看到Weis Markets的每股收益在過去五年中以每年3.6%的速度增長時,我們鬆了一口氣。最近的收益增長有限。然而,有幾種方法可以增加股息,其中之一就是公司可能會選擇將更多的收益作為股息支付。
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, Weis Markets has increased its dividend at approximately 1.3% a year on average.
許多投資者將通過評估一家公司的股息支付隨著時間的推移發生了多大變化來評估公司的股息表現。在過去的10年裡,Weis Markets的股息平均每年增加約1.3%。
To Sum It Up
總結一下
Is Weis Markets worth buying for its dividend? Earnings per share growth has been growing somewhat, and Weis Markets is paying out less than half its earnings and cash flow as dividends. This is interesting for a few reasons, as it suggests management may be reinvesting heavily in the business, but it also provides room to increase the dividend in time. It might be nice to see earnings growing faster, but Weis Markets is being conservative with its dividend payouts and could still perform reasonably over the long run. It's a promising combination that should mark this company worthy of closer attention.
WeMarkets值得為其股息而買入嗎?每股收益增長一直在一定程度上增長,Weis Markets支付的收益和現金流不到一半作為股息。這很有趣,有幾個原因,因為它表明管理層可能正在對業務進行大量再投資,但它也提供了及時增加股息的空間。看到收益增長更快可能是件好事,但Weis Markets對股息支付持保守態度,長期而言仍有可能表現合理。這是一個很有希望的組合,應該標誌著這家公司值得密切關注。
