5 questions I ask before choosing a dividend stock

When I search for a dividend stock, I always meet the following selection criteria:

• Does it pay an annual return of more than 75% of the dividends?

• Has its dividend been stable in the past (that is, no missed payments or significant reduction in payments)?

• Has he increased his dividend per share in the past?

• Do the benefits fully cover his dividend payments?

• Will he have the ability to continue paying dividends in the future?

How does New Hope behave?

The payment ratio of the last twelve months on the title is 89%,
which means that the dividend is covered by the profits.
Analysts expect, however, that NHC payments will be reduced to 32 percent of its profits. Assuming a constant stock price, this is equivalent to
dividend yield of about 4.9%.
However, EPS should increase to A $ 0.37, meaning that the lower payout ratio does not necessarily imply a lower dividend payout.

If you want to deepen the sustainability of a certain payout ratio, you may want to consider the cash flow of the company.
A company with strong cash flow can maintain a higher split ratio than a company with low cash flow.

Reliability is an important factor for dividend stocks, particularly for income investors who want a strong payment history and a positive outlook for future distributions.
Although NHC's share-based payments have increased over the last 10 years, the path has not been quite smooth.
Shareholders would have experienced a few years of reduced payments during this period.

Compared to peers,
New hope
produces a
yield of 5.7%,
which is high for oil and gas
still below the main dividends of the market.

Next steps:

Given the characteristics of the dividends above, New Hope certainly deserves to be considered by investors seeking to build a dedicated income portfolio.
