Is It Smart To Buy Value Line, Inc. (NASDAQ:VALU) Before It Goes Ex-Dividend?
Is It Smart To Buy Value Line, Inc. (NASDAQ:VALU) Before It Goes Ex-Dividend?
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 Value Line, Inc. (NASDAQ:VALU) is about to go ex-dividend in just 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 important because any transaction on a stock needs to have been settled before the record date in order to be eligible for a dividend. Accordingly, Value Line investors that purchase the stock on or after the 28th of October will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 12th of November.
一些投資者依賴於分紅派息來增加財富,如果您是其中之一,您可能會對知道納斯達克的value line公司(NASDAQ:VALU)將在3天后進行除息日感興趣。通常,除息日是股權登記日的前一業務日,股權登記日是公司確定有資格獲得分紅的股東的日期。除息日很重要,因爲任何股票交易需要在股權登記日前結算才有資格獲得分紅。因此,那些在10月28日或之後購買該股票的value line投資者將不會收到將於11月12日支付的分紅。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.30 per share, and in the last 12 months, the company paid a total of US$1.20 per share. Looking at the last 12 months of distributions, Value Line has a trailing yield of approximately 2.4% on its current stock price of US$49.04. 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 Value Line has been able to grow its dividends, or if the dividend might be cut.
公司的下一個分紅將爲每股0.30美元,在過去12個月中,該公司每股總共支付了1.20美元。查看過去12個月的分配情況,value line的股票當前價格爲49.04美元,其追蹤收益率約爲2.4%。分紅是長揸者投資回報的主要貢獻者,但前提是分紅繼續支付。因此,讀者應始終檢查value line是否能夠增加其分紅,或者分紅是否可能被削減。
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. Value Line is paying out an acceptable 55% of its profit, a common payout level among most companies.
分紅通常來自公司的收益。如果公司支付的分紅超過其盈利,那麼分紅可能是不能持續的。value line支付了其盈利的可接受55%,這是大多數公司中常見的支付水平。
Companies that pay out less in dividends than they earn in profits generally have more sustainable dividends. The lower the payout ratio, the more wiggle room the business has before it could be forced to cut the dividend.
通常,股息支付比利潤少的公司具有更可持續的股息。支付比率越低,業務在被迫削減股息之前擁有的操作餘地就越大。

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. 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 Value Line's earnings per share have risen 11% per annum over the last five years.
業務前景強勁的企業通常是最好的分紅派息者,因爲在每股收益改善時增加分紅更容易。投資者喜愛分紅派息,因此如果收益下降並導致分紅減少,預計股票會在同一時間大幅拋售。基於這個原因,我們很高興看到value line的每股收益在過去五年中年均增長了11%。
The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. Value Line has delivered an average of 7.2% per year annual increase in its dividend, based on the past 10 years of dividend payments. 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.
大多數投資者評估公司分紅前景的主要方式是檢查歷史分紅增長率。根據過去10年的分紅記錄,value line的分紅年均增長率爲7.2%。我們很高興看到分紅與收益一起連續多年增長,這可能表明公司打算與股東分享增長。
