Everything You Need to Know About the Record CSL Dividend
Everything You Need to Know About the Record CSL Dividend
It's been a bouncy but positive day for the $S&P/ASX 200 (.XJO.AU)$ and many ASX 200 shares this Tuesday. After starting the week off on a strong footing yesterday, the ASX 200 is continuing that momentum today, with the index currently up 0.05%. But let's talk about what's happening with $CSL Ltd (CSL.AU)$ shares.
對於他們來說，今天是充滿活力但積極的一天 $S&P/ASX 200 (.XJO.AU)$ 本週二還有許多澳大利亞證券交易所200股股票。澳大利亞證券交易所200指數在昨天穩步開盤後，今天延續了這一勢頭，目前該指數上漲了0.05％。但是，讓我們來談談發生了什麼 $CSL Ltd (CSL.AU)$ 股份。
CSL shares are not faring as well as the broader market, to put it nicely. In fact, the ASX 200 healthcare giant is having an awful day.
說得好，CSL的股票表現不如整個市場。實際上，這家澳大利亞證券交易所200指數醫療巨頭的日子過得很糟糕。
Yesterday, the CSL share price closed at $308.93. But this morning, those same shares opened at just $300.03 and are currently trading at $296.37. That's down a hefty 4.07% for the day thus far.
昨天，CSL的股價收於308.93美元。但是今天上午，同樣的股票開盤價僅爲300.03美元，目前的交易價格爲296.37美元。到目前爲止，這一數字已大幅下降了4.07％。
It seems investors are not too impressed with the full-year earnings report that the company dropped this morning.
該公司今天上午發佈的全年收益報告似乎並沒有給投資者留下太深刻的印象。
As we covered at the time, these earnings contained some fairly impressive figures. CSL reported an 11% bump in revenues for the 12 months to 30 June to US$14.8 billion.
正如我們當時所報道的那樣，這些收益包含一些相當可觀的數字。CSL報告稱，在截至6月30日的12個月中，收入增長了11％，達到148億美元。
That helped push the company's net profit after tax before amortisation (NPATA) up by 11% to US$2.91 billion, or up 15% to US$3.01 billion in constant currency terms.
這使該公司的攤銷前稅後淨利潤（NPATA）增長了11％，至29.1億美元，按固定貨幣計算，增長了15％，至30.1億美元。
As my Fool colleague covered after market open, it seems that investors may have been disappointed by CSL's guidance for FY2025. The company is expecting to record revenue growth of between 5-7% for the 12 months to 30 June 2025, and an NPATA of between US$3.2 and US$3.3 billion.
正如我的傻瓜同事在市場開盤後所報道的那樣，投資者似乎對CSL的 FY2025 指導感到失望。該公司預計，在截至2025年6月30日的12個月中，收入將增長5-7％，NPATA將在32億至33億美元之間。
But let's talk about the supersized dividend that CSL has just revealed.
但是，讓我們來談談CSL剛剛透露的超大規模股息。
CSL ups its dividend to new record high
CSL將其股息提高至歷史新高
This morning, CSL revealed that its final dividend for FY2024 would come in at US$1.45 per share. That's a healthy 12.4% rise over the final dividend of US$1.29 ($2.01) per share that investors received last year, as well as a 21.85% increase over April's interim dividend of US$1.19 ($1.80) per share.
今天上午，CSL透露，其 FY2024 的末期股息將爲每股1.45美元。這比去年投資者獲得的每股1.29美元（合2.01美元）的末期股息增長了12.4％，也比4月份每股1.19美元（1.80美元）的中期股息增長了21.85％。
We don't yet know whether this latest payment will be in Australian dollars, but at today's exchange rates, US$1.45 would equate to approximately $2.20 per share. Like April's interim dividend, it will not come with any franking credits attached.
我們還不知道最新一筆款項是否將以澳元支付，但按照今天的匯率，1.45美元相當於每股約2.20美元。與4月份的中期股息一樣，它不會附帶任何郵費抵免額。
Nevertheless, this is a big deal for CSL, as this latest dividend represents a record-high shareholder payout for the company.
儘管如此，這對CSL來說是一件大事，因爲最新的股息代表了該公司創紀錄的股東派息。
However, shareholders will have to wait a while until this passive income arrives in their bank accounts. CSL has scheduled Monday, 9 September next month as this payment's ex-dividend date. So anyone wishing to bag this payout will have to own CSL shares by market close on Friday, 6 September.
但是，股東將不得不等待一段時間，直到這筆被動收入進入他們的銀行帳戶。CSL已將下個月9月9日星期一定爲這筆款項的除息日。因此，任何希望獲得這筆款項的人都必須在9月6日星期五收盤前擁有CSL的股票。
The payment date will then roll around on 2 October.
然後，付款日期將延至10月2日。
CSL's dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) is not operating for this payment, so shareholders have no other option than to receive a traditional cash payment.
CSL的股息再投資計劃（DRP）不適用於這筆付款，因此股東別無選擇，只能獲得傳統的現金支付。
At today's pricing, CSL shares have a trailing dividend yield of 1.28%. If we factor in the newly announced dividend, CSL would have a forward dividend yield of 1.35%.
按今天的定價計算，CSL股票的尾隨股息收益率爲1.28％。如果將新宣佈的股息考慮在內，CSL的遠期股息收益率將爲1.35％。
