Note:
- latest payout looks irresponsible at 122%.however, on examination of operating cashflow -capital expenditure shows that the fcf yield is close to the div yield. I believe fcf is a better gauge of whether cerebos can payout such div in the future.
- investors should be expecting yield to decrease. latest sales is at an all time high. Management is finding the operating environment increasing challenging to grow more sales. Still, its consistent payout makes cerebos attractive. a long term yield of 5.5% at 16cents div looks a more realistic target.
