Reliability of Dividends
In order to assess the ability of a company to pay its dividend, there is a financial statistic called the dividend cover. This statistic shows the proportion of earnings which a company is paying in dividends, calculated as the company's Earnings Per Share divided by the Dividend.
This statistic shows simply how easily a company can afford to pay its dividend. Dividend Covers of more than 2 are typically considered extremely reliable: the dividend comprises less than half the company's earnings for the year. Dividend Covers less than 2 but more than 1 are considered more risky. A Dividend Cover of less than 1 means the company is paying out more in dividends for the year than it earned. In other words, the company is using retained earnings from prior years to pay current dividends, something which is unsustainable in the long run.
