How the stockrow Dividend Safety Score works
Our own composite, out of 100, for the latest fiscal year: up to 25 points for how little of its earnings the dividend takes, 25 for how little of its free cash flow, 20 for net debt against EBITDA, 20 for the years it has paid without a cut and 10 for how steady earnings per share have been over ten years. How we calculate it.
| 80–100 | Well covered |
|---|---|
| 60–79 | Adequately covered |
| 40–59 | Stretched |
| below 40 | Weakly covered |
Not worked out for a company that pays no regular dividend, for banks and REITs, whose payouts and leverage these measures do not describe, or with fewer than five years of earnings.
