Terumo's Payment Could Potentially Have Solid Earnings Coverage We like a dividend to be consistent over the long term, so checking whether it is sustainable is important. Before making this announcement, Terumo was easily earning enough to cover the dividend. 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 10.7%. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 33%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.
