Should You Buy ACNB Corporation (NASDAQ:ACNB) For Its Upcoming Dividend?
Should You Buy ACNB Corporation (NASDAQ:ACNB) For Its Upcoming Dividend?
Regular readers will know that we love our dividends at Simply Wall St, which is why it's exciting to see ACNB Corporation (NASDAQ:ACNB) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 4 days. The ex-dividend date is one business day before the record date, which is the cut-off date for shareholders to be present on the company's books to be eligible for a dividend payment. 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, ACNB investors that purchase the stock on or after the 29th of November will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 13th of December.
簡單華爾街的忠實讀者們會知道我們熱愛股息,因此看到ACNb公司(納斯達克股票代碼: ACNB)將在接下來的4天內進行除息交易顯得令人興奮。 除息日是登記日的前一個交易日,這是股東需在公司名冊上出現以便有資格獲得分紅支付的截止日期。 除息日很重要,因爲任何股票交易需在登記日前結算才有資格獲得紅利。 因此,購買ACNb股票的投資者需在11月29日當天或之後才能獲得將於12月13日支付的分紅。
The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.32 per share, and in the last 12 months, the company paid a total of US$1.28 per share. Based on the last year's worth of payments, ACNB stock has a trailing yield of around 2.7% on the current share price of US$47.96. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. We need to see whether the dividend is covered by earnings and if it's growing.
公司下一次的分紅將爲每股0.32美元,在過去12個月內,該公司每股共支付了1.28美元。基於過去一年的支付記錄,ACNb股票在當前47.96美元的股價上,擁有約2.7%的滾動收益。 分紅是長揸者投資回報的主要貢獻者,但前提是必須持續支付股息。 我們需要查看股息是否被收益覆蓋以及是否在增長。
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. Fortunately ACNB's payout ratio is modest, at just 36% of profit.
通常,分紅是由公司收入支付的,因此如果公司支付的金額超過其收入,那麼其股息通常更容易被削減。 幸運的是,ACNB的派息比率適中,僅佔利潤的36%。
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?
Companies with consistently growing earnings per share generally make the best dividend stocks, as they usually find it easier to grow dividends per share. If earnings fall far enough, the company could be forced to cut its dividend. With that in mind, we're encouraged by the steady growth at ACNB, with earnings per share up 2.1% on average over the last five years.
公司的每股收益持續增長通常會成爲最佳的分紅股,因爲它們通常更容易增加每股分紅。如果盈利下降到一定程度,公司可能會被迫削減分紅。考慮到這一點,我們對ACNb穩定的增長感到鼓舞,過去五年平均每股收益增長了2.1%。
The main way most investors will assess a company's dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. In the last 10 years, ACNB has lifted its dividend by approximately 5.4% a year on average. 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的分紅前景的主要方法是檢查歷史的分紅增長率。在過去的10年裏,ACNb的分紅平均每年增長約5.4%。我們很高興看到分紅隨着盈利多年增長,這可能是公司打算與股東分享增長的跡象。
The Bottom Line
最終結論
Should investors buy ACNB for the upcoming dividend? It has been growing its earnings per share somewhat in recent years, although it reinvests more than half its earnings in the business, which could suggest there are some growth projects that have not yet reached fruition. We think this is a pretty attractive combination, and would be interested in investigating ACNB more closely.
投資者應該爲即將到來的分紅買入ACNb嗎?近年來,它的每股收益有所增長,儘管有一半以上的盈利被再投資於業務,這可能表明某些增長項目尚未實現。我們認爲這是一種相當有吸引力的組合,並有興趣更仔細地研究ACNb。
