Why You Might Be Interested In IDEX Corporation (NYSE:IEX) For Its Upcoming Dividend

爲什麼你可能會對IDEX公司(紐約證券交易所代碼:IEX)即將到來的股息感興趣

Some investors rely on dividends for growing their wealth, and if you're one of those dividend sleuths, you might be intrigued to know that IDEX Corporation (NYSE:IEX) is about to go ex-dividend in just 4 days. Typically, the ex-dividend date is one business day before the record date which is the date on which a company determines the shareholders eligible to receive a dividend. It is important to be aware of the ex-dividend date because any trade on the stock needs to have been settled on or before the record date. This means that investors who purchase IDEX's shares on or after the 16th of May will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 31st of May.

一些投資者依靠分紅來增加財富,如果你是這些股息偵探之一,你可能會想知道IDEX Corporation(紐約證券交易所代碼:IEX)即將在短短4天內實現除息。通常,除息日是記錄日期前一個工作日,即公司確定有資格獲得股息的股東的日期。注意除息日很重要,因爲任何股票交易都必須在記錄日當天或之前結算。這意味着在5月16日當天或之後購買IDEX股票的投資者將不會獲得股息,股息將在5月31日支付。

The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.69 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of US$2.56 to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, IDEX stock has a trailing yield of around 1.1% on the current share price of US$226.16. 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 IDEX has been able to grow its dividends, or if the dividend might be cut.

該公司的下一次股息將爲每股0.69美元,去年該公司向股東共支付了2.56美元。根據去年的支付額,IDEX股票的尾隨收益率約爲1.1%,而目前的股價爲226.16美元。股息是長揸者投資回報的主要貢獻者,但前提是繼續支付股息。因此,讀者應始終檢查IDEX是否能夠增加其股息,或者股息是否可能被削減。

If a company pays out more in dividends than it earned, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. Fortunately IDEX's payout ratio is modest, at just 25% of profit. A useful secondary check can be to evaluate whether IDEX generated enough free cash flow to afford its dividend. Fortunately, it paid out only 30% of its free cash flow in the past year.

如果一家公司支付的股息超過其收入,那麼股息可能會變得不可持續,這並不是一個理想的情況。幸運的是,IDEX的派息率適中,僅爲利潤的25%。一種有用的輔助檢查可以用來評估IDEX是否產生了足夠的自由現金流來支付其股息。幸運的是,在過去的一年中,它僅支付了自由現金流的30%。

It's positive to see that IDEX's dividend is covered by both profits and cash flow, since this is generally a sign that the dividend is sustainable, and a lower payout ratio usually suggests a greater margin of safety before the dividend gets cut.

可以肯定的是,IDEX的股息由利潤和現金流共同支付,因爲這通常表明股息是可持續的,而較低的派息率通常表明在削減股息之前有更大的安全餘地。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?

收益和股息一直在增長嗎?

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 business enters a downturn and the dividend is cut, the company could see its value fall precipitously. This is why it's a relief to see IDEX earnings per share are up 7.3% per annum over the last five years. Management have been reinvested more than half of the company's earnings within the business, and the company has been able to grow earnings with this retained capital. We think this is generally an attractive combination, as dividends can grow through a combination of earnings growth and or a higher payout ratio over time.

增長前景強勁的企業通常是最佳的股息支付者,因爲當每股收益改善時,更容易增加股息。如果業務陷入低迷並削減股息,該公司的價值可能會急劇下降。這就是爲什麼IDEX在過去五年中每股收益每年增長7.3%令人欣慰的原因。管理層已將公司一半以上的收益再投資於該業務,公司得以利用這筆留存資本增加收益。我們認爲這通常是一個有吸引力的組合,因爲隨着時間的推移,收益增長和/或更高的派息率相結合,股息可以增長。

Another key way to measure a company's dividend prospects is by measuring its historical rate of dividend growth. IDEX has delivered 11% dividend growth per year on average over the past 10 years. We're glad to see dividends rising alongside earnings over a number of years, which may be a sign the company intends to share the growth with shareholders.

衡量公司股息前景的另一種關鍵方法是衡量其歷史股息增長率。在過去的10年中,IDEX的股息平均每年增長11%。我們很高興看到多年來股息隨着收益的增長而增加,這可能表明該公司打算與股東分享增長。

To Sum It Up

總結一下

From a dividend perspective, should investors buy or avoid IDEX? Earnings per share growth has been growing somewhat, and IDEX is paying out less than half its earnings and cash flow as dividends. This is interesting for a few reasons, as it suggests management may be reinvesting heavily in the business, but it also provides room to increase the dividend in time. We would prefer to see earnings growing faster, but the best dividend stocks over the long term typically combine significant earnings per share growth with a low payout ratio, and IDEX is halfway there. There's a lot to like about IDEX, and we would prioritise taking a closer look at it.

從股息的角度來看,投資者應該買入還是避開IDEX?每股收益有所增長,IDEX將不到一半的收益和現金流作爲股息支付。這很有趣,原因有很多,因爲這表明管理層可能正在對業務進行大量再投資,但它也爲及時增加股息提供了空間。我們希望看到收益更快地增長,但從長遠來看,最好的股息股票通常將每股收益的顯著增長與較低的派息率相結合,而IDEX已經到了一半。IDEX 有很多值得喜歡的地方,我們會優先仔細研究它。
