Here’s how I find good dividend stocks
When assessing a stock as a potential addition to my dividend Portfolio, I look at these five areas:
Is its annual yield among the top 25% of dividend-paying companies?
Does it consistently pay out dividends without missing a payment of significantly cutting payout?
Has dividend per share risen in the past couple of years?
Does earnings amply cover its dividend payments?
Will it be able to continue to payout at the current rate in the future?
How well does Interface fit our criteria?
The current trailing twelve-month payout ratio for the stock is 32%, meaning the dividend is sufficiently covered by earnings. In the near future, analysts are predicting lower payout ratio of 27%, leading to a dividend yield of 2.3%. However, EPS should increase to $1.5, meaning that the lower payout ratio does not necessarily implicate a lower dividend payment.
If you want to dive deeper into the sustainability of a certain payout ratio, you may wish to consider the cash flow of the business. A business with strong cash flow can sustain a higher divided payout ratio than a company with weak cash flow.
If there is one thing that you want to be reliable in your life, it’s dividend stocks and their constant income stream. Although TILE’s per share payments have increased in the past 10 years, it has not been a completely smooth ride. Shareholders would have seen a few years of reduced payments in this time.
In terms of its peers, Interface has a yield of 1.5%, which is on the low-side for Commercial Services stocks.
