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(纽约证券交易所代码:WMK)将在未来三天内进行除股息交易。除股息日期是记录日期之前的一个工作日,这是股东在公司账面上有资格获得股息支付的截止日期。除息日期很重要,因为股票的任何交易都需要在记录日期之前结算,才有资格获得股息。因此,您可以在11月3日之前购买Weis Markets的股票以获得股息,该公司将在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.

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.
股息通常从公司收益中支付。如果一家公司支付的股息超过了它的利润,那么股息可能是不可持续的。幸运的是,Weis Markets的派息率不高,仅占利润的31%。一个有用的次要检查可以是评估Weis Markets是否产生了足够的自由现金流来支付股息。值得庆幸的是,它的股息支付仅占其产生的自由现金流的38%,这是一个令人满意的派息率。
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.

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
盈利和股息一直在增长吗?
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.
每股收益持续增长的公司通常会获得最好的股息股票,因为它们通常会发现更容易增加每股股息。如果收益下降,该公司被迫削减股息,投资者可能会眼睁睁地看着他们的投资价值化为乌有。这就是为什么看到Weis Markets的每股收益在过去五年中以每年3.6%的速度增长时,我们松了一口气。最近的收益增长有限。然而,有几种方法可以增加股息,其中之一就是公司可能会选择将更多的收益作为股息支付。
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.
许多投资者将通过评估一家公司的股息支付随着时间的推移发生了多大变化来评估公司的股息表现。在过去的10年里,Weis Markets的股息平均每年增加约1.3%。
To Sum It Up
总结一下
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值得为其股息而买入吗?每股收益增长一直在一定程度上增长,Weis Markets支付的收益和现金流不到一半作为股息。这很有趣,有几个原因,因为它表明管理层可能正在对业务进行大量再投资,但它也提供了及时增加股息的空间。看到收益增长更快可能是件好事,但Weis Markets对股息支付持保守态度,长期而言仍有可能表现合理。这是一个很有希望的组合,应该标志着这家公司值得密切关注。
