    Listen to the news

    Alpha Data PJSC (ADX:ALPHADATA) stock is about to trade ex-dividend in 3 days. The ex-dividend date is usually set to be two business days before the record date, which is the cut-off date on which you must be present on the company's books as a shareholder in order to receive the dividend. It is important to be aware of the ex-dividend date because any trade on the stock needs to have been settled on or before the record date. Accordingly, Alpha Data PJSC investors that purchase the stock on or after the 16th of October will not receive the dividend, which will be paid on the 2nd of November.

    The company's next dividend payment will be د.إ0.065 per share, and in the last 12 months, the company paid a total of د.إ0.13 per share. Based on the last year's worth of payments, Alpha Data PJSC stock has a trailing yield of around 9.0% on the current share price of د.إ1.45. Dividends are an important source of income to many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining those dividends. So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing.

    Dividends are typically paid from company earnings. If a company pays more in dividends than it earned in profit, then the dividend could be unsustainable. Alpha Data PJSC paid out a comfortable 44% of its profit last year. Yet cash flows are even more important than profits for assessing a dividend, so we need to see if the company generated enough cash to pay its distribution. It paid out more than half (66%) of its free cash flow in the past year, which is within an average range for most companies.

    It's encouraging to see that the dividend is covered by both profit and cash flow. This generally suggests the dividend is sustainable, as long as earnings don't drop precipitously.

    Have Earnings And Dividends Been Growing?

    Businesses with strong growth prospects usually make the best dividend payers, because it's easier to grow dividends when earnings per share are improving. If earnings decline and the company is forced to cut its dividend, investors could watch the value of their investment go up in smoke. That's why we're optimistic about Alpha Data PJSC's earnings, which have ripped higher, up 61% over the past year. While we'd be remiss not to point out that a year is a very short time in dividend investing, it's an encouraging sign so far.

    We do note though, one year is too short a time to be drawing strong conclusions about a company's future growth prospects.

    Given that Alpha Data PJSC has only been paying a dividend for a year, there's not much of a past history to draw insight from.

    To Sum It Up

    From a dividend perspective, should investors buy or avoid Alpha Data PJSC? From a dividend perspective, we're encouraged to see that earnings per share have been growing, the company is paying out less than half of its earnings, and a bit over half its free cash flow. Overall we think this is an attractive combination and worthy of further research.
