Building up an investment case requires looking at a stock holistically. Today I’ve chosen to put the spotlight on CIMIC Group Limited (ASX:CIM) due to its excellent fundamentals in more than one area. CIM is a highly-regarded dividend-paying company that has been able to sustain great financial health over the past. In the following section, I expand a bit more on these key aspects. For those interested in digger a bit deeper into my commentary, take a look at the report on CIMIC Group here.
Excellent balance sheet average dividend payer
With a debt-to-equity ratio of 22%, CIM’s debt level is reasonable. This means that CIM’s capital structure strikes a good balance between low-cost debt funding and maintaining financial flexibility without overly restrictive terms of debt. CIM seems to have put its debt to good use, generating operating cash levels of 3.27x total debt in the most recent year. This is also a good indication as to whether debt is properly covered by the company’s cash flows.
For those seeking income streams from their portfolio, CIM is a robust dividend payer as well. Over the past decade, the company has consistently increased its dividend payout, reaching a yield of 3.3%.
