Check out our latest analysis for Tredegar

Tredegar Doesn't Earn Enough To Cover Its Payments

Impressive dividend yields are good, but this doesn't matter much if the payments can't be sustained. Prior to this announcement, the company was paying out 119% of what it was earning, however the dividend was quite comfortably covered by free cash flows at a cash payout ratio of only 35%. Healthy cash flows are always a positive sign, especially when they quite easily cover the dividend.

Earnings per share could rise by 1.4% over the next year if things go the same way as they have for the last few years. However, if the dividend continues growing along recent trends, it could start putting pressure on the balance sheet with the payout ratio reaching 1,654% over the next year.

Tredegar Has A Solid Track Record

The company has a sustained record of paying dividends with very little fluctuation. Since 2011, the first annual payment was US$0.16, compared to the most recent full-year payment of US$0.48. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 12% a year over that time. It is good to see that there has been strong dividend growth, and that there haven't been any cuts for a long time.

Dividend Growth May Be Hard To Achieve

Investors could be attracted to the stock based on the quality of its payment history. However, Tredegar's EPS was effectively flat over the past five years, which could stop the company from paying more every year. The earnings growth is anaemic, and the company is paying out 119% of its profit. This gives limited room for the company to raise the dividend in the future.

In Summary

In summary, while it's good to see that the dividend hasn't been cut, we are a bit cautious about Tredegar's payments, as there could be some issues with sustaining them into the future. The company has been bring in plenty of cash to cover the dividend, but we don't necessarily think that makes it a great dividend stock. We would be a touch cautious of relying on this stock primarily for the dividend income.

Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one. Still, investors need to consider a host of other factors, apart from dividend payments, when analysing a company. Taking the debate a bit further, we've identified 3 warning signs for Tredegar that investors need to be conscious of moving forward. Looking for more high-yielding dividend ideas?
