Microchip Technology Incorporated (NASDAQ:MCHP) has announced that it will be increasing its dividend from last year’s comparable payment on the 6th of December to $0.328. Based on this payment, the dividend yield for the company will be 2.1%, which is fairly typical for the industry.
Check out our latest analysis for Microchip Technology
We like a dividend to be consistent over the long term, so checking whether it is sustainable is important. However, prior to this announcement, Microchip Technology’s dividend was comfortably covered by both cash flow and earnings. As a result, a large proportion of what it earned was being reinvested back into the business.
The next year is set to see EPS grow by 33.5%. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 27%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.
The company has a sustained record of paying dividends with very little fluctuation. The dividend has gone from an annual total of $0.698 in 2012 to the most recent total annual payment of $1.31. This implies that the company grew its distributions at a yearly rate of about 6.5% over that duration. Dividends have grown at a reasonable rate over this period, and without any major cuts in the payment over time, we think this is an attractive combination as it provides a nice boost to shareholder returns.
Investors who have held shares in the company for the past few years will be happy with the dividend income they have received. Microchip Technology has seen EPS rising for the last five years, at 20% per annum. Rapid earnings growth and a low payout ratio suggest this company has been effectively reinvesting in its business. Should that continue, this company could have a bright future.
Overall, we think this could be an attractive income stock, and it is only getting better by paying a higher dividend this year. The company is easily earning enough to cover its dividend payments and it is great to see that these earnings are being translated into cash flow. All of these factors considered, we think this has solid potential as a dividend stock.
Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one.
