payout ratio and book valueFrom the July 7th news release:
"It is estimated that the cash flows associated with the full payments from PF will decrease the trusts run rate payout ratio by over 4% to between 55% and 60%"
Very postitive news no matter how PH (Scotia analyst) tries to spin it - he is the only one of 8 analysts who does not rate Alaris as a buy or outperform.
When you compare the payout ratio and yield for Alaris to the other choices in the dividend universe it stacks up very well.
In adddition to the PF distributions being restarted the addiitonal bump in the book value of their investment in CCom is a nice suprise - $7.2 Million USD more than what it was valued at the end of Q1 this year.
"Creating the optimal dividend stream for investors" is the main statement from the investor tab on their website - with the payout ratio where it is don't be suprised if there is a dividend bump announced next quarter.
