How I analyze a dividend stock
Whenever I am looking at a potential dividend stock investment, I always check these five metrics:
Is their annual yield among the top 25% of dividend payers?
Has its dividend been stable over the past (i.e. no missed payments or significant payout cuts)?
Has the amount of dividend per share grown over the past?
Can it afford to pay the current rate of dividends from its earnings?
Will the company be able to keep paying dividend based on the future earnings growth?
TSX:WPM Historical Dividend Yield January 2nd 19
How does Wheaton Precious Metals fare?
The current trailing twelve-month payout ratio for the stock is 56%, meaning the dividend is sufficiently covered by earnings. Going forward, analysts expect WPM’s payout to remain around the same level at 61% of its earnings. Assuming a constant share price, this equates to a dividend yield of around 1.8%. Moreover, EPS should increase to $0.64.
When considering the sustainability of dividends,
it is also worth checking the cash flow of a company
. Cash flow is important because companies with strong cash flow can usually sustain higher payout ratios.
If dividend is a key criteria in your investment consideration, then you need to make sure the dividend stock you’re eyeing out is reliable in its payments. The reality is that it is too early to consider Wheaton Precious Metals as a dividend investment. It has only been consistently paying dividends for 8 years, however, standard practice for reliable payers is to look for a 10-year minimum track record.
Relative to peers, Wheaton Precious Metals generates a yield of 1.9%, which is high for Metals and Mining stocks but still below the low risk savings rate.
Next Steps:
After digging a little deeper into Wheaton Precious Metals’s yield, it’s easy to see why you should be cautious investing in the company just for the dividend. But if you are not exclusively a dividend investor, the stock could still be an interesting investment opportunity. Given that this is purely a dividend analysis, I urge potential investors to try and get a good understanding of the underlying business and its fundamentals before deciding on an investment. Below, I’ve compiled three relevant factors you should further examine:
