ASX to slip, US equities dip on producer price data
Klarna Group Plc agreed to sell as much as $US26 billion ($40 billion) of buy-now, pay-later loans to the student loan giant Nelnet as the fintech looks for ways to free up capital ahead of its public debut. The multi-year deal is structured as a so-called forward-flow agreement, where a buyer agrees to purchase loans before they have been originated. With the deal, Klarna will be able to expand its pay-in-4 product in the US, which allows consumers to split up purchases and pay them off interest free in a matter of weeks. 'This is a landmark transaction for Klarna in the US' Klarna chief financial officer Niclas Neglén said in a statement to Bloomberg. 'Our partnership with Nelnet allows us to scale a core product responsibly.' Klarna, which has a banking license in its home country of Sweden, has been building a platform that allows it to sell streams of loans on an ongoing basis to investors around the world. Last year, the fintech struck a deal with a subsidiary of Elliott Investment Management that saw the hedge fund agree to buy up £30 billion of Klarna's UK-originated debt in the coming years. Klarna would continue to service the loans.

Nelnet, Inc. (NYSE:NNI) Passed Our Checks, And It's About To Pay A US$0.28 Dividend
It looks like Nelnet, Inc. (NYSE:NNI) is about to go ex-dividend in the next three 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. The ex-dividend date is important because any transaction on a stock needs to have been settled before the record date in order to be eligible for a dividend. This means that investors who purchase Nelnet's shares on or after the 2nd of June will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 16th of June. The company's next dividend payment will be US$0.28 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of US$1.12 to shareholders. Last year's total dividend payments show that Nelnet has a trailing yield of 1.0% on the current share price of US$116.53. Dividends are an important source of income to many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining those dividends. So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Dividends are usually paid out of company profits, so if a company pays out more than it earned then its dividend is usually at greater risk of being cut. Nelnet paid out just 21% of its profit last year, which we think is conservatively low and leaves plenty of margin for unexpected circumstances. Generally speaking, the lower a company's payout ratios, the more resilient its dividend usually is. See our latest analysis for Nelnet Click here to see how much of its profit Nelnet paid out over the last 12 months. Businesses with strong growth prospects usually make the best dividend payers, because it's easier to grow dividends when earnings per share are improving. If business enters a downturn and the dividend is cut, the company could see its value fall precipitously. With that in mind, we're encouraged by the steady growth at Nelnet, with earnings per share up 8.5% on average over the last five years. Another key way to measure a company's dividend prospects is by measuring its historical rate of dividend growth. Since the start of our data, 10 years ago, Nelnet has lifted its dividend by approximately 11% a year on average. It's encouraging to see the company lifting dividends while earnings are growing, suggesting at least some corporate interest in rewarding shareholders. Is Nelnet worth buying for its dividend? It has been growing its earnings per share somewhat in recent years, although it reinvests more than half its earnings in the business, which could suggest there are some growth projects that have not yet reached fruition. Nelnet ticks a lot of boxes for us from a dividend perspective, and we think these characteristics should mark the company as deserving of further attention. While it's tempting to invest in Nelnet for the dividends alone, you should always be mindful of the risks involved. To help with this, we've discovered 2 warning signs for Nelnet that you should be aware of before investing in their shares. Generally, we wouldn't recommend just buying the first dividend stock you see. Here's a curated list of interesting stocks that are strong dividend payers. Have feedback on this article?
