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 DDS
- Dividend Payout Ratio: 0.70% Low risk
- Dividend & Capex Coverage Ratio: 1.38x Adequate coverage
- Dividend Frequency: Quarterly
- Recent Dividend Growth: -0.22% 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. Dillard's's payout ratio is 0.70% , which is very conservative and suggests strong dividend sustainability.
The Dividend & Capex Coverage Ratio of 1.38x indicates how well the company can cover both its dividend payments and capital expenditures from operating cash flows. This ratio above 1.0x indicates Dillard's can cover its dividends and necessary investments from its operating cash flow, but has limited cushion.
Dillard's'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.
Dillard's's dividend growth rate of -0.22% 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.
