+0.75%

The board of Element Solutions Inc (NYSE:ESI) has announced that it will pay a dividend on the 16th of March, with investors receiving $0.08 per share. The dividend yield is 1.0% based on this payment, which is a little bit low compared to the other companies in the industry.

Trump has pledged to “unleash” American oil and gas and these 15 US stocks have developments that are poised to benefit.

Element Solutions’ Payment Could Potentially Have Solid Earnings Coverage

If it is predictable over a long period, even low dividend yields can be attractive. However, prior to this announcement, Element Solutions’ dividend was comfortably covered by both cash flow and earnings. As a result, a large proportion of what it earned was being reinvested back into the business.

Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise by 99.1% over the next year. If the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate the payout ratio will be 19%, which is in the range that makes us comfortable with the sustainability of the dividend.

Element Solutions Is Still Building Its Track Record

Even though the company has been paying a consistent dividend for a while, we would like to see a few more years before we feel comfortable relying on it. Since 2021, the annual payment back then was $0.20, compared to the most recent full-year payment of $0.32. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 9.9% per annum over that time. Element Solutions has a nice track record of dividend growth but we would wait until we see a longer track record before getting too confident.

The Dividend Looks Likely To Grow

Investors who have held shares in the company for the past few years will be happy with the dividend income they have received. It’s encouraging to see that Element Solutions has been growing its earnings per share at 15% a year over the past five years. A low payout ratio and decent growth suggests that the company is reinvesting well, and it also has plenty of room to increase the dividend over time.

Element Solutions Looks Like A Great Dividend Stock

Overall, we like to see the dividend staying consistent, and we think Element Solutions might even raise payments in the future. Earnings are easily covering distributions, and the company is generating plenty of cash. Taking this all into consideration, this looks like it could be a good dividend opportunity.

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. Taking the debate a bit further, we’ve identified 1 warning sign for Element Solutions that investors need to be conscious of moving forward.
