Karat Packaging Inc. (NASDAQ:KRT) Passed Our Checks, And It's About To Pay A US$0.35 Dividend
Regular readers will know that we love our dividends at Simply Wall St, which is why it's exciting to see Karat Packaging Inc. (NASDAQ:KRT) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 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 an important date to be aware of as any purchase of the stock made on or after this date might mean a late settlement that doesn't show on the record date. Accordingly, Karat Packaging investors that purchase the stock on or after the 16th of May will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 24th of May.
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Karat Packaging Inc.(纳斯达克股票代码:KRT)即将在未来3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,即股东需要在公司账簿上登记才能获得股息的日子。除息日是需要注意的重要日期,因为在该日或之后购买的任何股票都可能意味着延迟结算,而结算日期并未显示在记录日期。因此,在5月16日当天或之后购买股票的Karat Packaging投资者将不会获得股息,股息将在5月24日支付。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.35 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of US$1.95 to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Karat Packaging stock has a trailing yield of around 7.3% on the current share price of US$26.71. We love seeing companies pay a dividend, but it's also important to be sure that laying the golden eggs isn't going to kill our golden goose! So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing.
该公司的下一次股息将为每股0.35美元,去年该公司向股东共支付了1.95美元。根据去年的支付额,Karat Packaging股票的尾随收益率约为7.3%,而目前的股价为26.71美元。我们喜欢看到公司派发股息,但同样重要的是要确保产下金蛋不会杀死我们的金鹅!因此,我们需要检查股息支付是否包括在内,以及收益是否在增长。
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. Karat Packaging is paying out just 18% of its profit after tax, which is comfortably low and leaves plenty of breathing room in the case of adverse events. 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. Over the last year it paid out 70% of its free cash flow as dividends, within the usual range for most companies.
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其利润,那么分红可能是不可持续的。Karat Packaging仅支付了其税后利润的18%,这相当低,为不良事件留出了充足的喘息空间。话虽如此,即使是高利润的公司有时也可能无法产生足够的现金来支付股息,这就是为什么我们应该始终检查股息是否由现金流支付。去年,它将自由现金流的70%作为股息支付,在大多数公司的正常范围内。
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。

NasdaqGS:KRT Historic Dividend May 12th 2024
纳斯达克股票代码:KRT 历史股息 2024 年 5 月 12 日
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. Investors love dividends, so if earnings fall and the dividend is reduced, expect a stock to be sold off heavily at the same time. That's why it's comforting to see Karat Packaging's earnings have been skyrocketing, up 302% per annum for the past five years.
增长前景强劲的企业通常是最佳的股息支付者,因为当每股收益改善时,更容易增加股息。投资者喜欢分红,因此,如果收益下降而股息减少,预计股票将同时被大量抛售。这就是为什么看到Karat Packaging的收益直线上升,在过去五年中每年增长302%令人欣慰的原因。
Given that Karat Packaging has only been paying a dividend for a year, there's not much of a past history to draw insight from.
鉴于Karat Packaging只派发了一年的股息,过去的历史已经没有多少可以从中得出见解了。
