5 questions to ask before buying a dividend stock
Whenever I am looking at a potential dividend stock investment, I always check these five metrics:
-
Does it pay an annual yield higher than 75% of dividend payers?
-
Has it consistently paid a stable dividend without missing a payment or drastically cutting payout?
-
Has the amount of dividend per share grown over the past?
-
Does earnings amply cover its dividend payments?
-
Will it be able to continue to payout at the current rate in the future?
Does Firma Oponiarska Debica Spólka Akcyjna pass our checks?
Firma Oponiarska Debica Spólka Akcyjna has a trailing twelve-month payout ratio of 69.0%, meaning the dividend is sufficiently covered by earnings. Furthermore, analysts have not forecasted a dividends per share for the future, which makes it hard to determine the yield shareholders should expect, and whether the current payout is sustainable, moving forward.
If you want to dive deeper into the sustainability of a certain payout ratio, you may wish to consider the cash flow of the business. Cash flow is important because companies with strong cash flow can usually sustain higher payout ratios.
If dividend is a key criteria in your investment consideration, then you need to make sure the dividend stock you’re eyeing out is reliable in its payments.

In terms of its peers, Firma Oponiarska Debica Spólka Akcyjna generates a yield of 4.9%, which is high for Auto Components stocks but still below the market’s top dividend payers.
