YTL Power International Berhad's (KLSE:YTLPOWR) investors are due to receive a payment of MYR0.04 per share on 10th of July.

Based on the last payment, YTL Power International Berhad was earning enough to cover the dividend, but free cash flows weren't positive. We think that cash flows should take priority over earnings, so this is definitely a worry for the dividend going forward. Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise by 0.7% over the next year. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 23%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend. View our latest analysis for YTL Power International Berhad The company's dividend history has been marked by instability, with at least one cut in the last 10 years. Since 2015, the dividend has gone from MYR0.10 total annually to MYR0.07. The dividend has shrunk at around 3.5% a year during that period. A company that decreases its dividend over time generally isn't what we are looking for. Given that the dividend has been cut in the past, we need to check if earnings are growing and if that might lead to stronger dividends in the future. It's encouraging to see that YTL Power International Berhad has been growing its earnings per share at 47% a year over the past five years. Rapid earnings growth and a low payout ratio suggest this company has been effectively reinvesting in its business. Should that continue, this company could have a bright future. Overall, we always like to see the dividend being raised, but we don't think YTL Power International Berhad will make a great income stock. While the low payout ratio is a redeeming feature, this is offset by the minimal cash to cover the payments. We would probably look elsewhere for an income investment. Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one. Meanwhile, despite the importance of dividend payments, they are not the only factors our readers should know when assessing a company.

YTL Corp 3Q net profit falls 15.5% on weaker power division, boosted by cement segment
YTL Corp Bhd reported a 15.5% decline in net profit to RM419.38 million for the third quarter ended March 31, 2025 (3Q25), primarily due to weaker results from its utilities segment via YTL Power International. YTL Power's net profit dropped 30% to RM489.41 million, impacted by lower power prices and a stronger ringgit. However, this was partly offset by a strong performance from its cement segment, Malayan Cement, which saw an 80.6% profit surge to RM182.84 million, driven by operational efficiencies and acquisition gains. Revenue for the quarter edged up 1.5% to RM7.32 billion. For the first nine months of FY2025, net profit fell 17.1% to RM1.33 billion while revenue rose 4% to RM23.15 billion. The group expects stable performance from its cement and utilities segments moving forward. –TMR
