5 questions to ask before buying a dividend stock
When researching a dividend stock, I always follow the following screening criteria:
Does it pay an annual yield higher than 75% of dividend payers?
Has it consistently paid a stable dividend without missing a payment or drastically cutting payout?
Has the amount of dividend per share grown over the past?
Is its earnings sufficient to payout dividend at the current rate?
Will the company be able to keep paying dividend based on the future earnings growth?
Does Industria de Diseño Textil pass our checks?
The company currently pays out 49% of its earnings as a dividend, according to its trailing twelve-month data, meaning the dividend is sufficiently covered by earnings. Going forward, analysts expect ITX’s payout to increase to 71% of its earnings, which leads to a dividend yield of 3.6%. Furthermore, EPS should increase to €1.18. The higher payout forecasted, along with higher earnings, should lead to greater dividend income for investors moving forward.
When considering the sustainability of dividends, it is also worth checking the cash flow of a company. A business with strong cash flow can sustain a higher divided payout ratio than a company with weak cash flow.
Reliablity is an important factor for dividend stocks, particularly for income investors who want a strong track record of payment and a positive outlook for future payout. ITX has increased its DPS from €0.21 to €0.75 in the past 10 years. During this period it has not missed a payment, as one would expect for a company increasing its dividend. These are all positive signs of a great, reliable dividend stock.
In terms of its peers, Industria de Diseño Textil produces a yield of 3.0%, which is high for Specialty Retail stocks but still below the market’s top dividend payers.
