Is It Smart To Buy Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ:LFUS) Before It Goes Ex-Dividend?
Is It Smart To Buy Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ:LFUS) Before It Goes Ex-Dividend?
Regular readers will know that we love our dividends at Simply Wall St, which is why it's exciting to see Littelfuse, Inc. (NASDAQ:LFUS) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next four days. The ex-dividend date occurs one day before the record date which is the day on which shareholders need to be on the company's books in order to receive a dividend. The ex-dividend date is of consequence because whenever a stock is bought or sold, the trade takes at least two business day to settle. Therefore, if you purchase Littelfuse's shares on or after the 21st of November, you won't be eligible to receive the dividend, when it is paid on the 7th of December.
普通读者会知道我们喜欢Simply Wall St的股息,这就是为什么看到Littelfuse, Inc.(纳斯达克股票代码:LFUS)即将在未来四天内进行除息交易令人兴奋的原因。除息日发生在记录日期的前一天,也就是股东需要在公司账簿上登记才能获得股息的日子。除息日之所以重要,是因为每当买入或卖出股票时,交易至少需要两个工作日才能结算。因此,如果您在11月21日或之后购买Littelfuse的股票,则在12月7日支付股息时,您将没有资格获得股息。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.65 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of US$2.60 to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Littelfuse has a trailing yield of 1.1% on the current stock price of $241.68. If you buy this business for its dividend, you should have an idea of whether Littelfuse's dividend is reliable and sustainable. So we need to investigate whether Littelfuse can afford its dividend, and if the dividend could grow.

If a company pays out more in dividends than it earned, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. Littelfuse has a low and conservative payout ratio of just 20% of its income after tax. A useful secondary check can be to evaluate whether Littelfuse generated enough free cash flow to afford its dividend. The good news is it paid out just 18% of its free cash flow in the last year.
如果一家公司支付的股息多于其收入,那么分红可能会变得不可持续,这并不是一个理想的情况。Littelfuse的支付率较低且保守,仅为其税后收入的20%。评估Littelfuse是否产生了足够的自由现金流来支付股息,这可能是一个有用的辅助检查。好消息是,它去年仅支付了自由现金流的18%。
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.
令人鼓舞的是,股息由利润和现金流共同支付。这通常表明,只要收益不急剧下降,股息是可持续的。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
收益和股息一直在增长吗?
Businesses with strong growth prospects usually make the best dividend payers, because it's easier to grow dividends when earnings per share are improving. If earnings decline and the company is forced to cut its dividend, investors could watch the value of their investment go up in smoke. For this reason, we're glad to see Littelfuse's earnings per share have risen 19% per annum over the last five years. The company has managed to grow earnings at a rapid rate, while reinvesting most of the profits within the business. Fast-growing businesses that are reinvesting heavily are enticing from a dividend perspective, especially since they can often increase the payout ratio later.
增长前景强劲的企业通常是最好的股息支付者,因为当每股收益改善时,更容易增加股息。如果收益下降而公司被迫削减股息,投资者可能会看到他们的投资价值化为乌有。出于这个原因,我们很高兴看到Littelfuse的每股收益在过去五年中每年增长19%。该公司设法快速增长收益,同时将大部分利润再投资于业务。从股息的角度来看,进行大量再投资的快速增长的企业很有吸引力,尤其是因为它们通常可以在以后提高派息率。
The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. Littelfuse has delivered an average of 13% per year annual increase in its dividend, based on the past 10 years of dividend payments. It's exciting to see that both earnings and dividends per share have grown rapidly over the past few years.
大多数投资者评估公司股息前景的主要方法是检查历史股息增长率。根据过去10年的股息支付情况,Littelfuse的股息平均每年增长13%。令人兴奋的是,在过去几年中,每股收益和股息都迅速增长。
