Research: Dividend
Growth Assessment | | |
Traditionally, a stock's dividend history has been used to assess the likelihood of future dividend growth. But is this the best measure? Research by FlexShares shows that an assessment of a company's management, profitability and cash flow may be more helpful. 
| | |
WHAT IS QUALITY? A company’s financial health – or “quality” – may increase confidence that the company has the ability to grow its dividend over time. FlexShares’ research indicates that companies that score well on quality measures may have increased flexibility to put capital to work to pursue growth, or to return capital to investors in the form of dividends. - Management — How aggressive is management in the deployment of capital and their financing decisions?
- Profitability — How much of a competitive advantage does the company have?
- Cash Flow — Is the company able to fulfill debt obligations and meet day-to-day liquidity needs?
