Here's What We Like About LH Group's (HKG:1978) Upcoming Dividend
LH Group Limited (HKG:1978) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next three days. The ex-dividend date is usually set to be one business day before the record date which is the cut-off date on which you must be present on the company's books as a shareholder in order to receive the dividend. The ex-dividend date is important as the process of settlement involves two full business days. So if you miss that date, you would not show up on the company's books on the record date. Meaning, you will need to purchase LH Group's shares before the 14th of September to receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 29th of September.
LH集团有限公司(HKG: 1978)即将在未来三天进行除息交易。除息日通常设置为记录日期前一个工作日,即您必须作为股东出现在公司账簿上才能获得股息的截止日期。除息日很重要,因为结算过程涉及两个完整的工作日。因此,如果你错过了那个日期,你就不会在记录的日期出现在公司的账簿上。这意味着,您需要在9月14日之前购买LH集团的股票才能获得股息,股息将于9月29日支付。
The company's next dividend payment will be HK$0.17 per share, which looks like a nice increase on last year, when the company distributed a total of HK$0.095 to shareholders. Dividends are an important source of income to many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining those dividends. That's why we should always check whether the dividend payments appear sustainable, and if the company is growing.
该公司的下一次股息将为每股0.17港元,这看起来比去年有了不错的增长,当时该公司向股东共分配了0.095港元。股息是许多股东的重要收入来源,但业务的健康状况对于维持这些股息至关重要。这就是为什么我们应该经常检查股息支付是否可持续,以及公司是否在增长。

Dividends are typically paid from company earnings. If a company pays more in dividends than it earned in profit, then the dividend could be unsustainable. Its dividend payout ratio is 83% of profit, which means the company is paying out a majority of its earnings. The relatively limited profit reinvestment could slow the rate of future earnings growth. We'd be worried about the risk of a drop in earnings. Yet cash flow is typically more important than profit for assessing dividend sustainability, so we should always check if the company generated enough cash to afford its dividend. It distributed 28% of its free cash flow as dividends, a comfortable payout level for most companies.
股息通常从公司收益中支付。如果一家公司支付的股息超过其利润,那么分红可能是不可持续的。其股息支付率为利润的83%,这意味着该公司正在支付其大部分收益。相对有限的利润再投资可能会减缓未来的收益增长速度。我们会担心收益下降的风险。然而,在评估股息可持续性方面,现金流通常比利润更重要,因此我们应始终检查公司产生的现金是否足以支付股息。它将自由现金流的28%作为股息分配,对于大多数公司来说,这是一个不错的支出水平。
It's encouraging to see that the dividend is covered by both profit and cash flow. This generally suggests the dividend is sustainable, as long as earnings don't drop precipitously.
令人鼓舞的是,股息由利润和现金流共同支付。这通常表明,只要收益不急剧下降,股息是可持续的。

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
收益和股息一直在增长吗?
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. That's why it's comforting to see LH Group's earnings have been skyrocketing, up 32% per annum for the past five years. Earnings per share are growing at a rapid rate, yet the company is paying out more than three-quarters of its earnings.
增长前景强劲的企业通常是最佳的股息支付者,因为当每股收益改善时,更容易增加股息。如果业务陷入低迷并削减股息,该公司的价值可能会急剧下降。这就是为什么看到LH集团的收益直线上升,在过去五年中每年增长32%令人欣慰的原因。每股收益快速增长,但该公司支付的收益占其收益的四分之三以上。
Many investors will assess a company's dividend performance by evaluating how much the dividend payments have changed over time. Since the start of our data, four years ago, LH Group has lifted its dividend by approximately 15% a year on average. It's great to see earnings per share growing rapidly over several years, and dividends per share growing right along with it.
许多投资者将通过评估股息支付在一段时间内发生了多大变化来评估公司的股息表现。自四年前我们的数据开始以来,LH集团已将其股息平均每年提高约15%。很高兴看到每股收益在几年内迅速增长,每股股息也随之增长。
