Nohmi Bosai (TSE:6744) Is Due To Pay A Dividend Of ¥50.00
Nohmi Bosai Ltd. (TSE:6744) has announced that it will pay a dividend of ¥50.00 per share on the 29th of June. This takes the dividend yield to 2.8%, which shareholders will be pleased with.
Nohmi Bosai's Projected Earnings Seem Likely To Cover Future Distributions
If the payments aren't sustainable, a high yield for a few years won't matter that much. Prior to this announcement, Nohmi Bosai's dividend was comfortably covered by both cash flow and earnings. This indicates that a lot of the earnings are being reinvested into the business, with the aim of fueling growth.
Over the next year, EPS is forecast to expand by 9.2%. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we think the payout ratio could be 56% by next year, which is in a pretty sustainable range.

Nohmi Bosai Has A Solid Track Record
The company has a sustained record of paying dividends with very little fluctuation. Since 2015, the annual payment back then was ¥20.00, compared to the most recent full-year payment of ¥100.00. This implies that the company grew its distributions at a yearly rate of about 17% over that duration. So, dividends have been growing pretty quickly, and even more impressively, they haven't experienced any notable falls during this period.
Dividend Growth May Be Hard To Achieve
Investors could be attracted to the stock based on the quality of its payment history. Earnings have grown at around 3.9% a year for the past five years, which isn't massive but still better than seeing them shrink. The company has been growing at a pretty soft 3.9% per annum, and is paying out quite a lot of its earnings to shareholders. This isn't necessarily bad, but we wouldn't expect rapid dividend growth in the future.
We Really Like Nohmi Bosai's Dividend
Overall, a dividend increase is always good, and we think that Nohmi Bosai is a strong income stock thanks to its track record and growing earnings.

Earnings growth generally bodes well for the future value of company dividend payments.
