Why this score
| Part of the score | Points | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Yield Dividends per year as a share of today's price. Very high yields count for less: they often signal trouble. | 0.3 / 25 |
|
| Dividend safety Can the company keep paying? The dividend against free cash flow and earnings, plus debt and interest cover. | 8.1 / 25 |
|
| Dividend growth How many years in a row the dividend has risen, and how fast. | 14.4 / 15 |
|
| Quality Return on equity, net margin and how stable the margins are. | 15.0 / 15 |
|
| Valuation Free cash flow yield and the P/E against its sector. | 5.0 / 10 |
|
| Analysts How far the analysts' average target is from today's price. | 0.0 / 5 |
|
- Score capped at 55: the dividend is not covered by free cash flow or earnings
- The dividend is above the earnings (payout 190%)
- Heavy debt: net debt is 9.5× EBITDA
Income profile: it pays a dividend, so it is scored mainly on the dividend and how safe it is. Based on 95% of the figures (grade A). Warnings take 12 points off.
