BRP's Payment Could Potentially Have Solid Earnings Coverage Even a low dividend yield can be attractive if it is sustained for years on end. However, prior to this announcement, BRP's dividend was comfortably covered by both cash flow and earnings. This means that most of its earnings are being retained to grow the business. The next year is set to see EPS grow by 183.4%. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 11%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend. TSX:DOO Historic Dividend December 30th 2025 View our latest analysis for BRP BRP's Dividend Has Lacked Consistency It's comforting to see that BRP has been paying a dividend for a number of years now, however it has been cut at least once in that time. If the company cuts once, it definitely isn't argument against the possibility of it cutting in the future. The dividend has gone from an annual total of CA$0.32 in 2016 to the most recent total annual payment of CA$0.86. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 12% per annum 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. BRP Could Grow Its Dividend Given that the dividend has been cut in the past, we need to check if earnings are growing and if that might lead to stronger dividends in the future. It's encouraging to see that BRP has been growing its earnings per share at 6.0% a year over the past five years. BRP definitely has the potential to grow its dividend in the future with earnings on an uptrend and a low payout ratio. In Summary In summary, we are pleased with the dividend remaining consistent, and we think there is a good chance of this continuing in the future. The payout ratio looks good, but unfortunately the company's dividend track record isn't stellar. Taking all of this into consideration, the dividend looks viable moving forward, but investors should be mindful that the company has pushed the boundaries of sustainability in the past and may do so again. Market movements attest to how highly valued a consistent dividend policy is compared to one which is more unpredictable. Still, investors need to consider a host of other factors, apart from dividend payments, when analysing a company.
