So they usually pay more attention to companies that are included in major indices. We can see that Service Stream does have institutional investors; and they hold a good portion of the company's stock. This implies the analysts working for those institutions have looked at the stock and they like it. But just like anyone else, they could be wrong. When multiple institutions own a stock, there's always a risk that they are in a 'crowded trade'. When such a trade goes wrong, multiple parties may compete to sell stock fast. This risk is higher in a company without a history of growth. You can see Service Stream's historic earnings and revenue below, but keep in mind there's always more to the story. We note that hedge funds don't have a meaningful investment in Service Stream. Orbis Investment Management Limited is currently the company's largest shareholder with 6.9% of shares outstanding. With 5.1% and 5.0% of the shares outstanding respectively, Pinnacle Investment Management Group Limited and The Vanguard Group, Inc. are the second and third largest shareholders. Our studies suggest that the top 25 shareholders collectively control less than half of the company's shares, meaning that the company's shares are widely disseminated and there is no dominant shareholder.

There are a reasonable number of analysts covering the stock, so it might be useful to find out their aggregate view on the future.

The company management answer to the board and the latter should represent the interests of shareholders. Notably, sometimes top-level managers are on the board themselves.

Service Stream (ASX:SSM) Is Due To Pay A Dividend Of A$0.025

Service Stream Limited (ASX:SSM) will pay a dividend of A$0.025 on the 4th of April. Although the dividend is now higher, the yield is only 2.9%, which is below the industry average. See our latest analysis for Service Stream If it is predictable over a long period, even low dividend yields can be attractive. Based on the last payment, Service Stream was quite comfortably earning enough to cover the dividend. This indicates that quite a large proportion of earnings is being invested back into the business. Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise by 37.3% over the next year. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 43%, which is in the range that makes us 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 annual payment back then was A$0.0107, compared to the most recent full-year payment of A$0.05. This implies that the company grew its distributions at a yearly rate of about 17% over that duration. Dividends have grown rapidly over this time, but with cuts in the past we are not certain that this stock will be a reliable source of income in the future. Growing earnings per share could be a mitigating factor when considering the past fluctuations in the dividend. It's not great to see that Service Stream's earnings per share has fallen at approximately 8.2% per year over the past five years. If the company is making less over time, it naturally follows that it will also have to pay out less in dividends. It's not all bad news though, as the earnings are predicted to rise over the next 12 months - we would just be a bit cautious until this can turn into a longer term trend. Overall, we always like to see the dividend being raised, but we don't think Service Stream will make a great income stock. The company is generating plenty of cash, which could maintain the dividend for a while, but the track record hasn't been great. We would be a touch cautious of relying on this stock primarily for the dividend income. Market movements attest to how highly valued a consistent dividend policy is compared to one which is more unpredictable. At the same time, there are other factors our readers should be conscious of before pouring capital into a stock. For example, we've picked out 2 warning signs for Service Stream that investors should know about before committing capital to this stock.
