Three Days Left To Buy LifeVantage Corporation (NASDAQ:LFVN) Before The Ex-Dividend Date
Three Days Left To Buy LifeVantage Corporation (NASDAQ:LFVN) Before The Ex-Dividend Date
It looks like LifeVantage Corporation (NASDAQ:LFVN) is about to go ex-dividend in the next 3 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. 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. Therefore, if you purchase LifeVantage's shares on or after the 9th of September, you won't be eligible to receive the dividend, when it is paid on the 17th of September.
看起來LifeVantage公司(納斯達克股票代碼:LFVN)將在接下來的3天進行除息。通常,除息日是距離股權登記日前一天,股權登記日是公司確定股東有資格獲得股利的日期。除息日的意義在於,無論股票買入還是賣出,交易都需要至少兩個工作日來清算。因此,如果您在9月9日之後購買LifeVantage的股票,您將無法獲得分紅,因爲分紅將於9月17日支付。
The company's upcoming dividend is US$0.04 a share, following on from the last 12 months, when the company distributed a total of US$0.16 per share to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, LifeVantage has a trailing yield of 1.8% on the current stock price of US$8.78. Dividends are an important source of income to many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining those dividends. So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing.
公司即將支付的每股分紅爲US$0.04,繼上一年共向股東分配了每股US$0.16之後。根據過去12個月的分紅情況,LifeVantage在當前股價US$8.78上的滾動收益率爲1.8%。股利是許多股東的重要收入來源,但業務的健康對於維持這些股利至關重要。因此,我們需要檢查股利支付是否得到覆蓋,以及收益是否增長。
Dividends are typically paid from company earnings. If a company pays more in dividends than it earned in profit, then the dividend could be unsustainable. Fortunately LifeVantage's payout ratio is modest, at just 49% of profit. 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. Over the last year it paid out 70% of its free cash flow as dividends, within the usual range for most companies.
股利通常是用公司盈利支付的。如果公司用股利支付超過了盈利,那麼股利可能是不可持續的。幸運的是,LifeVantage的派息比率很適中,僅爲利潤的49%。儘管如此,即使是盈利非常可觀的公司有時也可能無法產生足夠的現金來支付股利,這就是爲什麼我們必須始終檢查股利是否被現金流覆蓋的原因。在過去一年裏,它支付了其自由現金流的70%作爲股利,這在大多數公司中屬於正常範圍。
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?
When earnings decline, dividend companies become much harder to analyse and own safely. If earnings decline and the company is forced to cut its dividend, investors could watch the value of their investment go up in smoke. With that in mind, we're discomforted by LifeVantage's 15% per annum decline in earnings in the past five years. When earnings per share fall, the maximum amount of dividends that can be paid also falls.
當盈利下降時,分紅公司變得更難分析和安全擁有。如果盈利下降且公司被迫削減分紅,投資者可能會看着他們的投資價值付諸東流。考慮到這一點,我們對過去五年中lifevantage盈利每年下降15%感到不安。每股盈利下降時,可支付的最大分紅金額也會下降。
Many investors will assess a company's dividend performance by evaluating how much the dividend payments have changed over time. In the last two years, LifeVantage has lifted its dividend by approximately 15% a year on average.
許多投資者將通過評估分紅支付金額隨時間變化的情況來評估公司的分紅績效。在過去兩年中,lifevantage的分紅每年平均增長約爲15%。
The Bottom Line

From a dividend perspective, should investors buy or avoid LifeVantage? Its earnings per share have been declining meaningfully, although it is paying out less than half its income and more than half its cash flow as dividends. Neither payout ratio appears an immediate concern, but we're concerned about the earnings. While it does have some good things going for it, we're a bit ambivalent and it would take more to convince us of LifeVantage's dividend merits.
從分紅的角度來看,投資者應該買入還是避開lifevantage?其每股盈利已經有實質性下降,儘管其支付的分紅不到其收入的一半,並且超過其現金流的一半。兩種支付比率都不是一個直接的擔憂,但我們關注盈利情況。雖然它確實有一些優點,但我們有些矛盾,需要更多來說服我們lifevantage的分紅優勢。
