Mativ Holdings (NYSE:MATV) Has Announced A Dividend Of $0.10

Mativ Holdings, Inc.'s (NYSE:MATV) investors are due to receive a payment of $0.10 per share on 28th of March. This makes the dividend yield 5.8%, which will augment investor returns quite nicely. While the dividend yield is important for income investors, it is also important to consider any large share price moves, as this will generally outweigh any gains from distributions. Mativ Holdings' stock price has reduced by 42% in the last 3 months, which is not ideal for investors and can explain a sharp increase in the dividend yield. See our latest analysis for Mativ Holdings We like to see robust dividend yields, but that doesn't matter if the payment isn't sustainable. Mativ Holdings is not generating a profit, but its free cash flows easily cover the dividend, leaving plenty for reinvestment in the business. This gives us some comfort about the level of the dividend payments. According to analysts, EPS should be several times higher next year. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the payout ratio will be 4.9%, which makes us pretty comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend. The company has a long dividend track record, but it doesn't look great with cuts in the past. Since 2015, the dividend has gone from $1.44 total annually to $0.40. The dividend has fallen 72% over that period. A company that decreases its dividend over time generally isn't what we are looking for. Dividends have been going in the wrong direction, so we definitely want to see a different trend in the earnings per share. Earnings per share has been sinking by 67% over the last five years. A sharp decline in earnings per share is not great from from a dividend perspective. Even conservative payout ratios can come under pressure if earnings fall far enough. On the bright side, earnings are predicted to gain some ground over the next year, but until this turns into a pattern we wouldn't be feeling too comfortable. Overall, it's nice to see a consistent dividend payment, but we think that longer term, the current level of payment might be unsustainable. In the past, the payments have been unstable, but over the short term the dividend could be reliable, with the company generating enough cash to cover it. We don't think Mativ Holdings is a great stock to add to your portfolio if income is your focus. Market movements attest to how highly valued a consistent dividend policy is compared to one which is more unpredictable. Meanwhile, despite the importance of dividend payments, they are not the only factors our readers should know when assessing a company. Just as an example, we've come across 2 warning signs for Mativ Holdings you should be aware of, and 1 of them doesn't sit too well with us. Is Mativ Holdings not quite the opportunity you were looking for? Why not check out our selection of top dividend stocks. Have feedback on this article? Concerned about the content?

Don't Race Out To Buy Mativ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:MATV) Just Because It's Going Ex-Dividend

Some investors rely on dividends for growing their wealth, and if you're one of those dividend sleuths, you might be intrigued to know that Mativ Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:MATV) is about to go ex-dividend in just 4 days. The ex-dividend date is one business day before a company's record date, which is the date on which the company determines which shareholders are entitled to receive a dividend. It is important to be aware of the ex-dividend date because any trade on the stock needs to have been settled on or before the record date. Meaning, you will need to purchase Mativ Holdings' shares before the 14th of March to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 28th of March. The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.10 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of US$0.40 to shareholders. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Mativ Holdings stock has a trailing yield of around 5.5% on the current share price of US$7.30. If you buy this business for its dividend, you should have an idea of whether Mativ Holdings's dividend is reliable and sustainable. As a result, readers should always check whether Mativ Holdings has been able to grow its dividends, or if the dividend might be cut. See our latest analysis for Mativ Holdings Dividends are typically paid from company earnings. If a company pays more in dividends than it earned in profit, then the dividend could be unsustainable. Mativ Holdings lost money last year, so the fact that it's paying a dividend is certainly disconcerting. There might be a good reason for this, but we'd want to look into it further before getting comfortable. With the recent loss, it's important to check if the business generated enough cash to pay its dividend. If Mativ Holdings didn't generate enough cash to pay the dividend, then it must have either paid from cash in the bank or by borrowing money, neither of which is sustainable in the long term. It paid out more than half (55%) of its free cash flow in the past year, which is within an average range for most companies. Click here to see the company's payout ratio, plus analyst estimates of its future dividends. Businesses with shrinking earnings are tricky from a dividend perspective. Investors love dividends, so if earnings fall and the dividend is reduced, expect a stock to be sold off heavily at the same time. Mativ Holdings reported a loss last year, and the general trend suggests its earnings have also been declining in recent years, making us wonder if the dividend is at risk. Another key way to measure a company's dividend prospects is by measuring its historical rate of dividend growth. Mativ Holdings's dividend payments per share have declined at 12% per year on average over the past 10 years, which is uninspiring. It's never nice to see earnings and dividends falling, but at least management has cut the dividend rather than potentially risk the company's health in an attempt to maintain it. Get our latest analysis on Mativ Holdings's balance sheet health here. Has Mativ Holdings got what it takes to maintain its dividend payments? First, it's not great to see the company paying a dividend despite being loss-making over the last year. On the plus side, the dividend was covered by free cash flow." It's not that we think Mativ Holdings is a bad company, but these characteristics don't generally lead to outstanding dividend performance. So if you're still interested in Mativ Holdings despite it's poor dividend qualities, you should be well informed on some of the risks facing this stock. We've identified 2 warning signs with Mativ Holdings (at least 1 which makes us a bit uncomfortable), and understanding them should be part of your investment process. If you're in the market for strong dividend payers, we recommend checking our selection of top dividend stocks. Have feedback on this article? Concerned about the content?
