View our latest analysis for Jackson Financial
If the payments aren't sustainable, a high yield for a few years won't matter that much. However, prior to this announcement, Jackson Financial's dividend was comfortably covered by both cash flow and earnings. This means that most of what the business earns is being used to help it grow.
Over the next year, EPS is forecast to fall by 2.0%. If the dividend continues along the path it has been on recently, we estimate the payout ratio could be 24%, which is comfortable for the company to continue in the future.
The dividend hasn't seen any major cuts in the past, but the company has only been paying a dividend for 3 years, which isn't that long in the grand scheme of things. The annual payment during the last 3 years was $2.00 in 2022, and the most recent fiscal year payment was $3.20. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 17% a year over that time. We're not overly excited about the relatively short history of dividend payments, however the dividend is growing at a nice rate and we might take a closer look.
Investors who have held shares in the company for the past few years will be happy with the dividend income they have received. Jackson Financial has impressed us by growing EPS at 11% per year over the past five years. Jackson Financial definitely has the potential to grow its dividend in the future with earnings on an uptrend and a low payout ratio.
Overall, we think this could be an attractive income stock, and it is only getting better by paying a higher dividend this year. The distributions are easily covered by earnings, and there is plenty of cash being generated as well. However, it is worth noting that the earnings are expected to fall over the next year, which may not change the long term outlook, but could affect the dividend payment in the next 12 months. Taking this all into consideration, this looks like it could be a good dividend opportunity.
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. For example, we've picked out 1 warning sign for Jackson Financial that investors should know about before committing capital to this stock.

OKLAHOMA CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Paycom Software, Inc. (NYSE: PAYC) ('Paycom'), a leading provider of comprehensive, cloud-based human capital management software, revealed findings from a study conducted by Forrester Consulting on the potential benefits gained through Paycom's full-solution automation and single-database software. * According to the Forrester Total Economic Impact ™ (TEI) study, a composite organization representative of interviewed Paycom clients experienced a three-year 362% return on investment (ROI). Paycom revealed findings from a study conducted by Forrester Consulting on the potential benefits gained through Paycom's full-solution automation and single-database software. Share Paycom's software is built upon a true single database to streamline performance and communication with a continuous and automated flow of workforce data. This design helps maintain data integrity and allows Paycom's HCM tools to work together for an automated, uninterrupted management of the employee life cycle. 'Paycom is the most automated solution in the industry, and our clients frequently attest to that,' said Chad Richison, Paycom founder and CEO. 'By prioritizing full-solution automation, we are creating value, driving efficiency and allowing our clients to achieve even greater ROI.' According to the study, the composite organization experienced several advantages following the implementation of Paycom, including: over 45% in total time saved by HR annually an 80% reduction in time spent on compliance work $300,000 annual savings due to a single database allowing better data visibility and analytics A director of HR in the entertainment industry interviewed for the study told Forrester, 'The ROI for Paycom is definitely there, given the amount of time that we save by having one solution to manage versus having different integrations. This helps us from an HR-staffing perspective.' In a separate recent study of HR leaders nationwide, Forrester found companies use an average of 6.17 HCM providers — with 80% of respondents indicating disparate or duplicate employee data negatively impacts their ability to create accurate workforce reports. † In contrast, the Forrester TEI study found Paycom's single database can provide cleaner data and robust analytics, all in real time, which may enable added business benefits such as company growth and cost savings. A chief HR officer in the consumer goods industry interviewed for the study told Forrester, 'The analytics provided with Paycom have really helped at the business strategy level and let us understand where our turnover is, where cost savings can be seen, and where we should be investing more.' Paycom commissioned the Forrester TEI study, The Total Economic Impact™ Of Paycom: Cost Savings And Business Benefits Enabled By Paycom, to examine the potential return on investment businesses may realize by deploying Paycom's automated, single-database software across the entire employee life cycle. For the purposes of this study, Forrester aggregated the experiences of the interviewees and combined the results into a single composite organization of 500 employees, including six HR employees and 40 managers. The composite organization also uses various Paycom tools across all five suites and, prior to deploying Paycom, used a legacy provider that lacked a unified solution.
