Taking data from its last earnings report, calculating for the company's payout ratio shows 29%, which means that Mebuki Financial GroupInc would be able to pay its last dividend without pressure on the balance sheet.

Dividend Volatility

The company has a long dividend track record, but it doesn't look great with cuts in the past. The dividend has gone from an annual total of ¥9.4 in 2015 to the most recent total annual payment of ¥28.00. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 12% a year over that time. Mebuki Financial GroupInc has grown distributions at a rapid rate despite cutting the dividend at least once in the past. Companies that cut once often cut again, so we would be cautious about buying this stock solely for the dividend income.

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. Mebuki Financial GroupInc has seen EPS rising for the last five years, at 19% per annum. Growth in EPS bodes well for the dividend, as does the low payout ratio that the company is currently reporting.

Mebuki Financial GroupInc Looks Like A Great Dividend Stock

In summary, it is always positive to see the dividend being increased, and we are particularly pleased with its overall sustainability. Distributions are quite easily covered by earnings, which are also being converted to cash flows. Taking this all into consideration, this looks like it could be a good dividend opportunity.
