Dividend Safety
Dividend safety refers to the ability of a company to continue paying its dividends to shareholders without interruption or reduction. A company with a high level of dividend safety is generally considered to have a strong financial position, with a consistent history of paying dividends and a low risk of default.
Key Safety Indicators for AWR
- Dividend Payout Ratio: 0.56% Low risk
- Dividend & Capex Coverage Ratio: 0.66x Weak coverage
- Dividend Frequency: Quarterly
- Recent Dividend Growth: -0.10% Negative
What These Indicators Mean
A low payout ratio (typically less than 60%) indicates that a company has enough earnings to pay dividends and retain earnings to reinvest in the business. American States Water's payout ratio is 0.56% , which is very conservative and suggests strong dividend sustainability.
The Dividend & Capex Coverage Ratio of 0.66x indicates how well the company can cover both its dividend payments and capital expenditures from operating cash flows. This ratio below 1.0x indicates American States Water may need to use cash reserves or debt to fund dividends and investments, which could be unsustainable long-term.
American States Water's quarterly dividend structure is the most common among dividend-paying companies, providing a balance between regular income for investors and financial flexibility for the company.
American States Water's dividend growth rate of -0.10% is negative, which may signal financial challenges or a shift in capital allocation priorities.
It is worth noting that dividend safety can change over time based on a company's financial performance, industry conditions, and management decisions. Regular monitoring of these metrics is recommended for dividend-focused investors.
