The ex-dividend date is one business day before a company's record date, which is the date on which the company determines which shareholders are entitled to receive a dividend.

Therefore, if you purchase Packaging Corporation of America's shares on or after the 14th of March, you won't be eligible to receive the dividend, when it is paid on the 14th of April.

Fortunately Packaging Corporation of America's payout ratio is modest, at just 43% of profit.

Over the last year it paid out 63% of its free cash flow as dividends, within the usual range for most companies.

股息通常是從公司利潤中支付的,因此,如果公司支付的費用超過了賺取的費用,那麼其股息通常會有更大的被削減的風險。幸運的是,美國包裝公司的支付比率適中,僅佔利潤的 43%。一個有用的二次檢查可以是評估美國包裝公司是否產生足夠的自由現金流來負擔股息。在過去一年,它支付了 63% 的自由現金流作為股息,在大多數公司的通常範圍內。

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. Investors love dividends, so if earnings fall and the dividend is reduced, expect a stock to be sold off heavily at the same time. For this reason, we're glad to see Packaging Corporation of America's earnings per share have risen 10% per annum over the last five years. Packaging Corporation of America has an average payout ratio which suggests a balance between growing earnings and rewarding shareholders. Given the quick rate of earnings per share growth and current level of payout, there may be a chance of further dividend increases in the future.

產生可持續盈利增長的公司中的股票通常會帶來最佳的股息前景,因為當盈利上升時,更容易提高股息。投資者喜歡股息,因此,如果盈利下降並且股息減少,預計股票將同時大量拋售。出於這個原因,我們很高興看到美國包裝公司的每股盈利在過去五年中每年增長了 10%。美國包裝公司具有平均支付比率,這表明不斷增長的收益和獎勵股東之間的平衡。鑑於每股盈利增長速度快,以及目前的派息水平,未來可能會有進一步股息增加的機會。

Another key way to measure a company's dividend prospects is by measuring its historical rate of dividend growth. Packaging Corporation of America has delivered an average of 17% per year annual increase in its dividend, based on the past 10 years of dividend payments. Both per-share earnings and dividends have both been growing rapidly in recent times, which is great to see.

衡量公司股息前景的另一個關鍵方法是衡量其歷史股息增長率。根據過去 10 年的股息支付,美國包裝公司的股息平均每年增長 17%。近來,每股收益和股息都在迅速增長,這是很高興看到的。
