Simply Wall St · 07/08 00:05

Ganesh Housing Corporation Limited (NSE:GANESHHOUC) is reducing its dividend from last year's comparable payment to ₹5.00 on the 8th of October. This means that the annual payment will be 0.5% of the current stock price, which is in line with the average for the industry.

Ganesh Housing's Future Dividend Projections Appear Well Covered By Earnings

Unless the payments are sustainable, the dividend yield doesn't mean too much. However, Ganesh Housing's earnings easily cover the dividend. As a result, a large proportion of what it earned was being reinvested back into the business.

Over the next year, EPS could expand by 69.8% if recent trends continue. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 4.9%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.

Dividend Volatility

The company has a long dividend track record, but it doesn't look great with cuts in the past. The annual payment during the last 10 years was ₹1.73 in 2015, and the most recent fiscal year payment was ₹5.00. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 11% a year over that time. Dividends have grown rapidly over this time, but with cuts in the past we are not certain that this stock will be a reliable source of income in the future.

The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow

With a relatively unstable dividend, it's even more important to evaluate if earnings per share is growing, which could point to a growing dividend in the future. We are encouraged to see that Ganesh Housing has grown earnings per share at 70% per year over the past five years. Earnings per share is growing at a solid clip, and the payout ratio is low which we think is an ideal combination in a dividend stock as the company can quite easily raise the dividend in the future.

Ganesh Housing Looks Like A Great Dividend Stock

Overall, we think that Ganesh Housing could be a great option for a dividend investment, although we would have preferred if the dividend wasn't cut this year. The cut will allow the company to continue paying out the dividend without putting the balance sheet under pressure, which means that it could remain sustainable for longer. Taking this all into consideration, this looks like it could be a good dividend opportunity.

It's important to note that companies having a consistent dividend policy will generate greater investor confidence than those having an erratic one.
