AIM:CRC Historical Dividend Yield Dec 10th 17
Does Circle Property pass our checks?
Circle Property has a payout ratio of 13.52%, 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 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. Unfortunately, it is really too early to view Circle Property as a dividend investment. It has only been consistently paying dividends for 2 years, however, standard practice for reliable payers is to look for a 10-year minimum track record. Compared to its peers, Circle Property produces a yield of 3.26%, which is high for real estate stocks but still below the market’s top dividend payers.
