Here's What We Like About Opera's (NASDAQ:OPRA) Upcoming Dividend
Here's What We Like About Opera's (NASDAQ:OPRA) Upcoming Dividend
Opera Limited (NASDAQ:OPRA) stock is about to trade ex-dividend in three 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. Accordingly, Opera investors that purchase the stock on or after the 2nd of July will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 15th of July.
歐朋公司（納斯達克:OPRA）的股票將於三天後開多分紅派息。通常，除息日是公司確定股東有權獲得分紅的日期前一個工作日。了解除息日非常重要，因爲任何關於股票的交易都需要在除息日或之前完成結算。因此，如果在7月2日之後購買歐朋公司的投資者將無法獲得分紅，其將在7月15日支付。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.40 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of US$0.80 to shareholders. Calculating the last year's worth of payments shows that Opera has a trailing yield of 5.6% on the current share price of US$14.36. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing.
該公司的下一個股息支付將是每股0.40美元，而去年公司向股東支付了總額爲0.80美元的分紅。計算去年的分紅金額表明，歐朋公司股票的股息收益率爲5.6%。對於長揸者來說，分紅是投資回報的重要組成部分，但前提是分紅繼續支付。因此，我們需要檢查分紅支付是否得到覆蓋，並且收益是否在增長。
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. That's why it's good to see Opera paying out a modest 47% of its earnings. A useful secondary check can be to evaluate whether Opera generated enough free cash flow to afford its dividend. It distributed 34% of its free cash flow as dividends, a comfortable payout level for most companies.
分紅通常是從公司收入中支付的，因此，如果公司支付的分紅超過了其所賺取的利潤，其分紅往往會面臨更高的風險。這就是爲什麼看到歐朋公司支付的分紅僅佔其利潤的適度47%時是好的。對於大多數公司而言，評估歐朋公司是否產生足夠的自由現金流來支付其分紅是一個有用的二元檢查。它將其自由現金流的34%分配爲股息，這是一個舒適的支付水平。
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.
看到股息既有盈利也有現金流的覆蓋是令人鼓舞的。這通常表明股息是可持續的，只要收益沒有急劇下降。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
收益和股息一直在增長嗎？
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. That's why it's comforting to see Opera's earnings have been skyrocketing, up 39% per annum for the past five years. Opera is paying out less than half its earnings and cash flow, while simultaneously growing earnings per share at a rapid clip. This is a very favourable combination that can often lead to the dividend multiplying over the long term, if earnings grow and the company pays out a higher percentage of its earnings.
在公司收益持續增長的公司股票中，通常分紅前景最好，因爲當收益增長時，提高分紅更加容易。如果收益下降並且公司被迫削減其分紅，投資者可能會看到其投資價值煙消雲散。這就是爲什麼看到歐朋公司的盈利已經猛增了39%的年均增長率，同時支付了不到其收益和現金流的一半的股息和現金流，而且每股收益也在快速增長，這種非常有利的組合往往可以導致分紅在長期內倍增，如果收益增長並且公司支付其收益的比例更高。
Given that Opera has only been paying a dividend for a year, there's not much of a past history to draw insight from.
考慮到歐朋公司只支付了一年的分紅，因此很難根據歷史記錄獲得有意義的見解。
The Bottom Line
還有一件事需要注意的是，我們已經確定了上海醫藥的2個警告信號，了解這些信號應該成爲你的投資過程的一部分。
From a dividend perspective, should investors buy or avoid Opera? We love that Opera is growing earnings per share while simultaneously paying out a low percentage of both its earnings and cash flow. These characteristics suggest the company is reinvesting in growing its business, while the conservative payout ratio also implies a reduced risk of the dividend being cut in the future. There's a lot to like about Opera, and we would prioritise taking a closer look at it.
從分紅的角度來看，投資者應該買入還是避免歐朋公司？我們喜歡歐朋公司同時增長每股收益，同時只支付其收益和現金流的低比例。這些特點表明該公司正在重新投資於業務增長，而保守的支付比率也意味着將來分紅被削減的風險降低了。歐朋公司有很多值得喜歡的地方，我們將優先更加仔細地研究它。
