5 checks you should use to assess a dividend stock

Whenever I am looking at a potential dividend stock investment, I always check these five metrics:

  • Is it the top 25% annual dividend yield payer?

  • Has it consistently paid a stable dividend without missing a payment or drastically cutting payout?

  • Has dividend per share risen in the past couple of years?

  • Does earnings amply cover its dividend payments?

  • Will it have the ability to keep paying its dividends going forward?

SGX:Z25 Historical Dividend Yield May 25th 18

How well does Yanlord Land Group fit our criteria?

Yanlord Land Group has a trailing twelve-month payout ratio of 20.92%, which means that the dividend is covered by earnings. Going forward, analysts expect Z25’s payout to remain around the same level at 19.35% of its earnings, which leads to a dividend yield of 4.80%. Moreover, EPS should increase to CN¥1.91. If there is one thing that you want to be reliable in your life, it’s dividend stocks and their constant income stream. Whilst its per-share payments have increased during the past 10 years, there has been some hiccups. Investors have seen reductions in the dividend per share in the past, although, it has picked up again. Compared to its peers, Yanlord Land Group has a yield of 4.00%, which is high for Real Estate stocks but still below the market’s top dividend payers.

Next Steps:

Keeping in mind the dividend characteristics above, Yanlord Land Group is definitely worth considering for investors looking to build a dedicated income portfolio. Given that this is purely a dividend analysis, I urge potential investors to try and get a good understanding of the underlying business and its fundamentals before deciding on an investment.
