DIP's Projected Earnings Seem Likely To Cover Future Distributions We like to see robust dividend yields, but that doesn't matter if the payment isn't sustainable. Based on the last payment, DIP was quite comfortably earning enough to cover the dividend. This indicates that quite a large proportion of earnings is being invested back into the business. Over the next year, EPS is forecast to expand by 10.4%. If the dividend continues on this path, the payout ratio could be 60% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward. TSE:2379 Historic Dividend August 22nd 2025 View our latest analysis for DIP DIP's Dividend Has Lacked Consistency Even in its relatively short history, the company has reduced the dividend at least once. This makes us cautious about the consistency of the dividend over a full economic cycle. Since 2017, the annual payment back then was ¥43.00, compared to the most recent full-year payment of ¥95.00. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 10% a year over that time. Despite the rapid growth in the dividend over the past number of years, we have seen the payments go down the past as well, so that makes us cautious. Dividend Growth May Be Hard To Achieve Growing earnings per share could be a mitigating factor when considering the past fluctuations in the dividend. DIP hasn't seen much change in its earnings per share over the last five years. Our Thoughts On DIP's Dividend In summary, while it's good to see that the dividend hasn't been cut, we are a bit cautious about DIP's payments, as there could be some issues with sustaining them into the future. The payments haven't been particularly stable and we don't see huge growth potential, but with the dividend well covered by cash flows it could prove to be reliable over the short term. We don't think DIP is a great stock to add to your portfolio if income is your focus. Companies possessing a stable dividend policy will likely enjoy greater investor interest than those suffering from a more inconsistent approach. Still, investors need to consider a host of other factors, apart from dividend payments, when analysing a company.
