If a company pays out more in dividends than it earned, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. Fortunately Franklin Financial Services's payout ratio is modest, at just 40% of profit.
如果一家公司支付的股息超過其收入,那麼股息可能會變得不可持續,這並不是一個理想的情況。幸運的是,富蘭克林金融服務的派息率適中,僅爲利潤的40%。
Companies that pay out less in dividends than they earn in profits generally have more sustainable dividends. The lower the payout ratio, the more wiggle room the business has before it could be forced to cut the dividend.

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
收益和股息一直在增長嗎?
Stocks in companies that generate sustainable earnings growth often make the best dividend prospects, as it is easier to lift the dividend when earnings are rising. If earnings decline and the company is forced to cut its dividend, investors could watch the value of their investment go up in smoke. That's why it's comforting to see Franklin Financial Services's earnings have been skyrocketing, up 45% per annum for the past five years.
實現可持續收益增長的公司的股票通常具有最佳的股息前景,因爲當收益上升時,更容易提高股息。如果收益下降而公司被迫削減股息,投資者可能會看到他們的投資價值化爲烏有。這就是爲什麼富蘭克林金融服務的收益直線上升,在過去五年中每年增長45%令人欣慰的原因。
The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. Franklin Financial Services has delivered 6.5% dividend growth per year on average over the past 10 years. It's encouraging to see the company lifting dividends while earnings are growing, suggesting at least some corporate interest in rewarding shareholders.
大多數投資者評估公司股息前景的主要方式是查看歷史股息增長率。在過去的10年中,富蘭克林金融服務平均每年實現6.5%的股息增長。令人鼓舞的是,該公司在收益增長的同時提高了股息,這表明至少有一部分企業有興趣獎勵股東。
