When researching a dividend stock, I always follow the following screening criteria:
Is its annual yield among the top 25% of dividend-paying companies?
Has its dividend been stable over the past (i.e. no missed payments or significant payout cuts)?
Has dividend per share risen in the past couple of years?
Is is able to pay the current rate of dividends from its earnings?
Will it have the ability to keep paying its dividends going forward?
How well does Bijou Brigitte modische Accessoires fit our criteria?
The current trailing twelve-month payout ratio for BIJ is 109.17%, which means that the dividend is not well-covered by its earnings. Going forward, analysts expect BIJ’s payout to remain around the same level at 114.63% of its earnings, which leads to a dividend yield of around 5.87%. Furthermore, EPS should increase to €2.81.
