Get Nice Financial Group Limited (HKG:1469) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 4 days. Typically, the ex-dividend date is one business day before the record date which is the date on which a company determines the shareholders eligible to receive a dividend. The ex-dividend date is an important date to be aware of as any purchase of the stock made on or after this date might mean a late settlement that doesn't show on the record date. This means that investors who purchase Get Nice Financial Group's shares on or after the 13th of December will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 29th of December.
The company's next dividend payment will be HK$0.03 per share. Last year, in total, the company distributed HK$0.06 to shareholders. Last year's total dividend payments show that Get Nice Financial Group has a trailing yield of 8.2% on the current share price of HK$0.73. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing.

Dividends are usually paid out of company profits, so if a company pays out more than it earned then its dividend is usually at greater risk of being cut. Get Nice Financial Group distributed an unsustainably high 141% of its profit as dividends to shareholders last year. Without extenuating circumstances, we'd consider the dividend at risk of a cut.
When the dividend payout ratio is high, as it is in this case, the dividend is usually at greater risk of being cut in the future.

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?
When earnings decline, dividend companies become much harder to analyse and own safely. If earnings fall far enough, the company could be forced to cut its dividend. Readers will understand then, why we're concerned to see Get Nice Financial Group's earnings per share have dropped 18% a year over the past five years. When earnings per share fall, the maximum amount of dividends that can be paid also falls.
Many investors will assess a company's dividend performance by evaluating how much the dividend payments have changed over time. Get Nice Financial Group has delivered 7.0% dividend growth per year on average over the past six years. That's intriguing, but the combination of growing dividends despite declining earnings can typically only be achieved by paying out a larger percentage of profits. Get Nice Financial Group is already paying out a high percentage of its income, so without earnings growth, we're doubtful of whether this dividend will grow much in the future.
To Sum It Up
Is Get Nice Financial Group worth buying for its dividend? Not only are earnings per share shrinking, but Get Nice Financial Group is paying out a disconcertingly high percentage of its profit as dividends. Generally we think dividend investors should avoid businesses in this situation, as high payout ratios and declining earnings can lead to the dividend being cut. These characteristics don't generally lead to outstanding dividend performance, and investors may not be happy with the results of owning this stock for its dividend.
With that being said, if you're still considering Get Nice Financial Group as an investment, you'll find it beneficial to know what risks this stock is facing. Case in point: We've spotted 2 warning signs for Get Nice Financial Group you should be aware of.

该公司的下一次股息将为每股0.03港元。去年,该公司总共向股东分配了0.06港元。去年的股息支付总额显示,Get Nice Financial Group的后续收益率为8.2%,而目前的股价为0.73港元。股息是长期持有者投资回报的主要贡献者,但前提是必须继续支付股息。因此,我们需要检查股息支付是否在承保范围内,以及收益是否在增长。

收益和股息一直在增长吗?
当收益下降时,分红公司变得更难分析和安全地拥有股息。如果收益下降得足够远,该公司可能被迫削减股息。届时,读者就会明白,为什么我们担心Get Nice Financial Group的每股收益在过去五年中每年下降18%。当每股收益下降时,可以支付的最大股息金额也会下降。
许多投资者将通过评估股息支付随着时间的推移发生了多大变化来评估公司的股息表现。在过去六年中,Get Nice Financial Group的股息平均每年增长7.0%。这很有趣,但是尽管收益下降,但股息仍在增长,这通常只能通过支付更大的利润百分比来实现。Get Nice Financial Group已经支付了其收入的很大一部分,因此,如果收益没有增长,我们怀疑这笔股息将来是否会大幅增长。
总结一下
Get Nice 金融集团的股息值得买入吗?不仅每股收益萎缩,而且Get Nice Financial Group将其利润的分红比例高得令人不安。通常,我们认为股息投资者应避开这种情况下的企业,因为高派息率和收益下降可能导致股息被削减。这些特征通常不会带来出色的股息表现,投资者可能对持有这只股票作为股息的结果不满意。
话虽如此,如果你还在考虑将Get Nice Financial Group作为一项投资,那么你会发现了解这只股票面临的风险会很有帮助。一个很好的例子:我们发现了 Get Nice 金融集团有 2 个警告信号 你应该知道。
