There's A Lot To Like About Herc Holdings' (NYSE:HRI) Upcoming US$0.665 Dividend
Regular readers will know that we love our dividends at Simply Wall St, which is why it's exciting to see Herc Holdings Inc. (NYSE:HRI) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 2 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 as the process of settlement involves two full business days. So if you miss that date, you would not show up on the company's books on the record date. Therefore, if you purchase Herc Holdings' shares on or after the 31st of May, you won't be eligible to receive the dividend, when it is paid on the 14th of June.
普通讀者會知道我們喜歡Simply Wall St的股息,這就是爲什麼看到Herc Holdings Inc.(紐約證券交易所代碼:HRI)即將在未來兩天內進行除息交易令人興奮的原因。除息日是記錄日期前的一個工作日,這是股東在公司賬簿上有資格獲得股息的截止日期。除息日很重要,因爲結算過程涉及兩個完整的工作日。因此,如果你錯過了那個日期,你就不會在記錄的日期出現在公司的賬簿上。因此,如果您在5月31日當天或之後購買Herc Holdings的股票,則沒有資格獲得6月14日支付的股息。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.665 per share, and in the last 12 months, the company paid a total of US$2.66 per share. Calculating the last year's worth of payments shows that Herc Holdings has a trailing yield of 1.8% on the current share price of US$147.70. Dividends are an important source of income to many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining those dividends. As a result, readers should always check whether Herc Holdings has been able to grow its dividends, or if the dividend might be cut.
該公司的下一次股息將爲每股0.665美元,在過去的12個月中,該公司共支付了每股2.66美元。計算去年的付款額顯示,Herc Holdings的追蹤收益率爲1.8%,而目前的股價爲147.70美元。股息是許多股東的重要收入來源,但業務的健康狀況對於維持這些股息至關重要。因此,讀者應始終檢查Herc Holdings是否能夠增加其股息,或者股息是否可能被削減。
Dividends are typically paid out of company income, so if a company pays out more than it earned, its dividend is usually at a higher risk of being cut. Herc Holdings has a low and conservative payout ratio of just 21% of its income after tax. That said, even highly profitable companies sometimes might not generate enough cash to pay the dividend, which is why we should always check if the dividend is covered by cash flow. Dividends consumed 69% of the company's free cash flow last year, which is within a normal range for most dividend-paying organisations.
股息通常從公司收入中支付,因此,如果公司支付的股息超過其收入,則其股息被削減的風險通常更高。Herc Holdings的派息率低而保守,僅佔其稅後收入的21%。話雖如此,即使是高利潤的公司有時也可能無法產生足夠的現金來支付股息,這就是爲什麼我們應該始終檢查股息是否由現金流支付。去年,股息消耗了公司自由現金流的69%,這在大多數支付股息的組織的正常範圍內。
It's positive to see that Herc Holdings'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.
可以肯定的是,Herc Holdings的股息由利潤和現金流共同支付,因爲這通常表明股息是可持續的,而較低的派息率通常表明在削減股息之前有更大的安全餘地。

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 fall far enough, the company could be forced to cut its dividend. It's encouraging to see Herc Holdings has grown its earnings rapidly, up 38% a year for the past five years.
