RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:Here are the real numbers, re: Upcoming Div announcementThe numbers I have used for BIR are from their 2023 guidance, so if you consider this to be trailing figures, I guess that you must have another system far superior. Please feel free to share and contradict BIR's management figures.
These numbers provide vsibility for commodity weakness and vulnereabilities to their guidance. No company has control over commodity prices but they do have control over what they pay out from their profit and the payout ratio I believe is important. When comparing ENBs and TRPs of the world, both of which I have, be careful on what you preach because you should know that TRP cut their dividend before. I know because I had it at the time and as I said, still have it.
The discussion I believe on this topic is whether BIR will still bump out their payout to the .20 per quarter as they have targeted. Thus far even with the weakness in commodities and based on what they have provided for investors and analysts to digest is that they will. If everything falls apart and commodities go below their guidance we can expect an adjustment to their strategic direction of rewarding shareholders.
