Simply Wall St ·  2023/05/05 06:18

It looks like Challenger Technologies Limited (SGX:573) is about to go ex-dividend in the next 4 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 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 Challenger Technologies' shares before the 9th of May in order to receive the dividend, which the company will pay on the 18th of May.

看起來像 挑戰者科技有限公司 (SGX: 573) 即將在接下來的4天內進行除息。除息日通常設置爲記錄日期前一個工作日,該截止日期是您必須作爲股東在公司賬簿上才能獲得股息的截止日期。除息日很重要,因爲任何股票交易都必須在記錄日期之前結算才有資格獲得股息。因此,您可以在5月9日之前購買Challenger Technologies的股票以獲得股息,該公司將在5月18日支付股息。

The company's next dividend payment will be S$0.013 per share. Last year, in total, the company distributed S$0.013 to shareholders. Last year's total dividend payments show that Challenger Technologies has a trailing yield of 2.4% on the current share price of SGD0.53. If you buy this business for its dividend, you should have an idea of whether Challenger Technologies's dividend is reliable and sustainable. So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing.

該公司的下一次股息將爲每股0.013新元。去年,該公司總共向股東分配了0.013新元。去年的股息支付總額顯示,Challenger Technologies的後續收益率爲2.4%,而目前的股價爲0.53新加坡元。如果你收購這家企業是爲了分紅,你應該知道Challenger Technologies的股息是否可靠和可持續。因此,我們需要檢查股息支付是否在承保範圍內,以及收益是否在增長。

If a company pays out more in dividends than it earned, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. Challenger Technologies paid out more than half (51%) of its earnings last year, which is a regular payout ratio for most companies. 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. Thankfully its dividend payments took up just 40% of the free cash flow it generated, which is a comfortable payout ratio.

如果一家公司支付的股息多於所賺取的股息,那麼分紅可能會變得不可持續,這並不是一個理想的情況。Challenger Technologies去年支付了其收益的一半以上(51%),這是大多數公司的常規派息率。也就是說,即使是利潤豐厚的公司有時也可能無法產生足夠的現金來支付股息,這就是爲甚麼我們應該經常檢查股息是否由現金流支付。值得慶幸的是,它的股息支付僅佔其產生的自由現金流的40%,這是一個不錯的派息率。

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.

令人鼓舞的是,股息由利潤和現金流共同支付。這通常表明,只要收益不急劇下降,股息是可持續的。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?

收益和股息一直在增長嗎?

Companies with falling earnings are riskier for dividend shareholders. Investors love dividends, so if earnings fall and the dividend is reduced, expect a stock to be sold off heavily at the same time. Challenger Technologies's earnings per share have fallen at approximately 12% a year over the previous five years. When earnings per share fall, the maximum amount of dividends that can be paid also falls.

收益下降的公司對股息股東來說風險更大。投資者喜歡分紅,因此,如果收益下降而股息減少,預計股票將同時被大量拋售。在過去五年中,Challenger Technologies的每股收益每年下降約12%。當每股收益下降時,可以支付的最大股息金額也會下降。

We'd also point out that Challenger Technologies issued a meaningful number of new shares in the past year. It's hard to grow dividends per share when a company keeps creating new shares.

我們還要指出,Challenger Technologies在過去一年中發行了大量新股。當公司不斷創造新股時,很難增加每股股息。

The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. Challenger Technologies's dividend payments per share have declined at 5.7% 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股息前景的主要方法是檢查歷史股息增長率。在過去的10年中,Challenger Technologies的每股股息支付額平均每年下降5.7%,這並不令人鼓舞。儘管近年來每股收益和股息下降並不是一件好事,但令我們感到鼓舞的是,管理層削減了股息,而不是冒險過度投入公司以維持股東收益率。

To Sum It Up

總結一下

Is Challenger Technologies worth buying for its dividend? We're not enthused by the declining earnings per share, although at least the company's payout ratio is within a reasonable range, meaning it may not be at imminent risk of a dividend cut. It might be worth researching if the company is reinvesting in growth projects that could grow earnings and dividends in the future, but for now we're not all that optimistic on its dividend prospects.

挑戰者科技的股息值得買入嗎?我們對每股收益的下降並不感到熱情,儘管至少該公司的派息率在合理的範圍內,這意味着它可能不會面臨削減股息的迫在眉睫的風險。可能值得研究該公司是否正在對未來可能增加收益和股息的成長型項目進行再投資,但就目前而言,我們對其股息前景並不那麼樂觀。

So if you want to do more digging on Challenger Technologies, you'll find it worthwhile knowing the risks that this stock faces. For example, Challenger Technologies has 2 warning signs (and 1 which is a bit unpleasant) we think you should know about.

因此,如果你想對Challenger Technologies進行更多研究,你會發現瞭解這隻股票面臨的風險是值得的。例如,挑戰者科技有 2 個警告標誌 (還有 1 有點不愉快)我們認爲你應該知道。
