Typically, the ex-dividend date is one business day before the record date, which is the day the company determines which shareholders are eligible to receive the dividend.

Calculating last year’s payments shows that YD More Investments has a yield of 6.6% on the current share price of ₪7.844. Dividends are an important source of income for many shareholders, but the health of the business is crucial to maintaining them.

Are profits and dividends increasing?

Companies with consistently growing earnings per share usually make the best dividend stocks, as it is easier to grow dividends per share. If earnings fall sharply, a company may be forced to cut the dividend. That’s why it’s reassuring to see that YD More Investments’ earnings per share have grown at 9.1% per year over the past five years.

The main way most investors assess a company’s dividend prospects is by looking at the historical rate of dividend growth, and since our data began seven years ago, YD More Investments has grown its dividend by approximately 1.9% per year on average.

Final conclusion

Is YD More Investments an attractive dividend stock, or is it better left on the shelf? Earnings per share have been growing at a reasonable rate, and the company is paying out just over half of its profits as dividends. It might be worth investigating whether the company is reinvesting in growth projects that could increase earnings and dividends in the future, but we’re not sure about the dividend prospects at the moment.
