Canlan Ice Sports (TSE:ICE) Will Pay A Dividend Of CA$0.03
The board of Canlan Ice Sports Corp. (TSE:ICE) has announced that it will pay a dividend of CA$0.03 per share on the 15th of April. This payment means that the dividend yield will be 3.1%, which is around the industry average. We aren't too impressed by dividend yields unless they can be sustained over time. Prior to this announcement, Canlan Ice Sports' dividend was comfortably covered by both cash flow and earnings. This indicates that quite a large proportion of earnings is being invested back into the business. Over the next year, EPS could expand by 2.7% if recent trends continue. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 57%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend. Check out our latest analysis for Canlan Ice Sports The company's dividend history has been marked by instability, with at least one cut in the last 10 years. The annual payment during the last 10 years was CA$0.08 in 2015, and the most recent fiscal year payment was CA$0.12. This implies that the company grew its distributions at a yearly rate of about 4.1% over that duration. The dividend has seen some fluctuations in the past, so even though the dividend was raised this year, we should remember that it has been cut in the past. Growing earnings per share could be a mitigating factor when considering the past fluctuations in the dividend. Earnings per share has been crawling upwards at 2.7% per year. The company has been growing at a pretty soft 2.7% per annum, and is paying out quite a lot of its earnings to shareholders. This isn't necessarily bad, but we wouldn't expect rapid dividend growth in the future. In summary, we are pleased with the dividend remaining consistent, and we think there is a good chance of this continuing in the future. The dividend has been at reasonable levels historically, but that hasn't translated into a consistent payment. The payment isn't stellar, but it could make a decent addition to a dividend portfolio. It's important to note that companies having a consistent dividend policy will generate greater investor confidence than those having an erratic one. However, there are other things to consider for investors when analysing stock performance.
