Coverage Strained

Over 200% of earnings paid as dividends (3 years)

Payout of earnings (3 yrs). Over 200%: more than the business produced on this measure.

Cash payout after capital spending (3 yrs). 43%: inside the 60% teaching band.

Earnings and cash flow disagree. One measure covers the dividend and the other doesn't. Read the annual report for one-off charges or unusual cash items.

Earnings payout distorted. Earnings were unusually low in at least one of the three years (often because of large one-off charges), so the earnings payout overstates the strain. The cash measures are the better guide here.

Dividend decrease. Fiscal 2021 (-33.3%) in the filings.

Bands for industrial, technology, energy, materials, health care: up to 60% inside the band, 60–80% stretched. Earnings swing with the cycle, so a cushion matters. Teaching rules of thumb, not a rating.
