Toell Co.,Ltd. (TSE:3361) will pay a dividend of ¥23.00 on the 13th of July. The dividend yield will be 2.8% based on this payment which is still above the industry average.
We like to see robust dividend yields, but that doesn't matter if the payment isn't sustainable. However, ToellLtd's earnings easily cover the dividend. This means that most of what the business earns is being used to help it grow.
Over the next year, EPS could expand by 7.8% if recent trends continue. If the dividend continues on this path, the payout ratio could be 29% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward.

The company has an extended history of paying stable dividends. Since 2015, the dividend has gone from ¥15.00 total annually to ¥23.00. This works out to be a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of approximately 4.4% a year over that time. Slow and steady dividend growth might not sound that exciting, but dividends have been stable for ten years, which we think makes this a fairly attractive offer.
Investors could be attracted to the stock based on the quality of its payment history. It's encouraging to see that ToellLtd has been growing its earnings per share at 7.8% a year over the past five years. With a decent amount of growth and a low payout ratio, we think this bodes well for ToellLtd's prospects of growing its dividend payments in the future.
Overall, we like to see the dividend staying consistent, and we think ToellLtd might even raise payments in the future. The company is easily earning enough to cover its dividend payments and it is great to see that these earnings are being translated into cash flow. All in all, this checks a lot of the boxes we look for when choosing an income stock.
