There's A Lot To Like About WaFd's (NASDAQ:WAFD) Upcoming US$0.25 Dividend
WaFd, Inc (NASDAQ:WAFD) stock is about to trade ex-dividend in 3 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 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. This means that investors who purchase WaFd's shares on or after the 22nd of November will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 8th of December.
WafD, Inc(纳斯达克股票代码:WAFD)股票即将在3天后进行除息交易。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。除息日很重要,因为结算过程涉及两个完整的工作日。因此,如果你错过了那个日期,你就不会在记录日期出现在公司的账簿上。这意味着在11月22日当天或之后购买WafD股票的投资者将无法获得股息,该股息将在12月8日支付。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.25 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of US$1.00 to shareholders. Looking at the last 12 months of distributions, WaFd has a trailing yield of approximately 3.6% on its current stock price of $27.46. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. As a result, readers should always check whether WaFd has been able to grow its dividends, or if the dividend might be cut.
该公司的下一次股息将为每股0.25美元,去年该公司向股东共支付了1.00美元。从过去12个月的发行情况来看,WafD的尾随收益率约为3.6%,而目前的股价为27.46美元。股息是长期持有者投资回报的主要贡献者,但前提是股息必须继续支付。因此,读者应始终检查WafD是否能够增加股息,或者股息是否可能被削减。

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. WaFd paid out a comfortable 27% of its profit last year.
股息通常由公司收入支付,因此,如果公司支付的股息超过其收入,则其股息被削减的风险通常更高。去年,WafD支付了27%的利润。
When a company paid out less in dividends than it earned in profit, this generally suggests its dividend is affordable. The lower the % of its profit that it pays out, the greater the margin of safety for the dividend if the business enters a downturn.
当一家公司支付的股息少于其赚取的利润时,这通常表明其股息是负担得起的。它支付的利润百分比越低,在业务进入低迷时分红的安全余地就越大。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
收益和股息一直在增长吗?
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. This is why it's a relief to see WaFd earnings per share are up 9.4% per annum over the last five years.
能够实现可持续收益增长的公司的股票通常具有最佳的股息前景,因为当收益增加时,更容易提高股息。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。这就是为什么看到WafD的每股收益在过去五年中每年增长9.4%令人欣慰的原因。
Many investors will assess a company's dividend performance by evaluating how much the dividend payments have changed over time. WaFd has delivered 12% 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.
许多投资者将通过评估股息支付随时间推移而发生的变化来评估公司的股息表现。在过去的10年中,WafD平均每年实现12%的股息增长。令人鼓舞的是,该公司在收益增长的同时提高了股息,这表明至少有一部分企业有兴趣奖励股东。
Final Takeaway

Is WaFd worth buying for its dividend? It has been growing its earnings per share somewhat in recent years, although it reinvests more than half its earnings in the business, which could suggest there are some growth projects that have not yet reached fruition. Overall, WaFd looks like a promising dividend stock in this analysis, and we think it would be worth investigating further.
WafD 值得为其分红买入吗?近年来,它的每股收益有所增长,尽管它将一半以上的收益再投资于该业务,这可能表明有些增长项目尚未取得成果。总体而言,在本次分析中,WaFd看起来像是一只很有前途的股息股,我们认为值得进一步研究。
