Infineon Technologies AG (ETR:IFX) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 4 days. Typically, the ex-dividend date is two business days 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 important because any transaction on a stock needs to have been settled before the record date in order to be eligible for a dividend. In other words, investors can purchase Infineon Technologies’ shares before the 20th of February in order to be eligible for the dividend, which will be paid on the 24th of February.

The company’s next dividend payment will be €0.35 per share, on the back of last year when the company paid a total of €0.35 to shareholders. Last year’s total dividend payments show that Infineon Technologies has a trailing yield of 0.8% on the current share price of €43.51. 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.

We’ve found 21 US stocks that are forecast to pay a dividend yield of over 6% next year. See the full list for free.

If a company pays out more in dividends than it earned, then the dividend might become unsustainable - hardly an ideal situation. That’s why it’s good to see Infineon Technologies paying out a modest 45% of its earnings. A useful secondary check can be to evaluate whether Infineon Technologies generated enough free cash flow to afford its dividend. It distributed 40% of its free cash flow as dividends, a comfortable payout level for most companies.

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.

Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?

Stocks in companies that generate sustainable earnings growth often make the best dividend prospects, as it is easier to lift the dividend when earnings are rising. If earnings decline and the company is forced to cut its dividend, investors could watch the value of their investment go up in smoke. It’s encouraging to see Infineon Technologies has grown its earnings rapidly, up 24% a year for the past five years. Infineon Technologies is paying out less than half its earnings and cash flow, while simultaneously growing earnings per share at a rapid clip. This is a very favourable combination that can often lead to the dividend multiplying over the long term, if earnings grow and the company pays out a higher percentage of its earnings.

Story Continues  

The main way most investors will assess a company’s dividend prospects is by checking the historical rate of dividend growth. Since the start of our data, 10 years ago, Infineon Technologies has lifted its dividend by approximately 5.8% a year on average. Earnings per share have been growing much quicker than dividends, potentially because Infineon Technologies is keeping back more of its profits to grow the business.
