SO Dividend Safety: Payout & Dividend to Free Cash Flow Ratios.
Dividend payout ration is Dividend/EPS, and indicates if company can afford to pay dividends from net income that it earned in the quarter.
Since EPS can be played with using different "accounting gymnastics", a better measure of dividends safety is Dividend to Free Cash Flow (FCF) ratio.
FCF is how much cash the company has earned each quarter, after paying all expenses not related to earnings.
Lower Ratio indicates SAFER Dividend! Ratios consistently close to, or over 100% are usually unsustainable and often indicate a dividend cut might be coming soon.
