Here's Why We're Wary Of Buying S E A Holdings' (HKG:251) For Its Upcoming Dividend
Here's Why We're Wary Of Buying S E A Holdings' (HKG:251) For Its Upcoming Dividend
S E A Holdings Limited (HKG:251) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next three days. The ex-dividend date is usually set to be one business day before the record date which is the cut-off date on which you must be present on the company's books as a shareholder in order to receive the 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. Meaning, you will need to purchase S E A Holdings' shares before the 29th of May to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 18th of June.
S E A控股有限公司(HKG:251)即將在未來三天進行分紅。除淨日期通常設爲股權登記日的前一天,而股權登記日是你必須出現在公司股東名冊上的截止日期,以便獲得分紅。除淨日之所以重要,是因爲每當一隻股票買入或賣出時,交易至少需要兩個工作日才能結算。這意味着你需要在5月29日之前買入S E A控股的股票,才能在6月18日獲得分紅。
The company's upcoming dividend is HK$0.03 a share, following on from the last 12 months, when the company distributed a total of HK$0.05 per share to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, S E A Holdings stock has a trailing yield of around 3.1% on the current share price of HK$1.59. 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 S E A Holdings has been able to grow its dividends, or if the dividend might be cut.
該公司即將分派每股港元0.03港幣的股息,此前一年,該公司向股東分配了每股港元0.05港幣的股息。根據去年的付款情況,S E A控股股票在當前股價1.59港元的情況下具有約3.1%的回報率。股息對於長揸者的投資回報率是一個主要貢獻者,但前提是股息需要繼續支付。因此,讀者應始終檢查S E A控股是否能夠增加其分紅,或者分紅是否可能被削減。
Dividends are usually paid out of company profits, so if a company pays out more than it earned then its dividend is usually at greater risk of being cut. S E A Holdings's dividend is not well covered by earnings, as the company lost money last year. This is not a sustainable state of affairs, so it would be worth investigating if earnings are expected to recover.
分紅通常由公司利潤支付,因此如果公司支付的分紅超過了其收入,那麼其分紅通常會面臨更大的被減少風險。S E A控股的股息尚未得到盈利的很好的支持,因爲該公司去年虧損了。這不是一種可持續的狀態,因此值得去調查是否預計有望恢復盈利。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
收益和股息一直在增長嗎?
When earnings decline, dividend companies become much harder to analyse and own safely. If business enters a downturn and the dividend is cut, the company could see its value fall precipitously. S E A Holdings was unprofitable last year and, unfortunately, the general trend suggests its earnings have been in decline over the last five years, making us wonder if the dividend is sustainable at all.
當收益下滑時,股息公司變得更難分析和安全擁有。如果業務進入低潮期並削減股息,則可能會導致公司價值急劇下跌。S E A控股去年未盈利,不幸的是,總體趨勢表明其收益在過去五年中已經下降,這使我們想知道股息是否可持續。
The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. S E A Holdings's dividend payments per share have declined at 7.6% per year on average over the past 10 years, which is uninspiring. While it's not great that earnings and dividends per share have fallen in recent years, we're encouraged by the fact that management has trimmed the dividend rather than risk over-committing the company in a risky attempt to maintain yields to shareholders.
大多數投資者評估公司分紅前景的主要方法是檢查股息增長的歷史率。S E A控股每股股息支付的數量平均每年下降7.6%,這是令人失望的。雖然收益和每股股息近年來下降並不是好事,但我們鼓勵管理層修剪股息,而不是冒險地試圖維持股息並過度承諾公司的風險。
