Dividends don't lie

Companies can't fake a cash payment like they can manipulate other items on the balance sheet.

If you're going to cut a dividend check, you have to have the cash to cover it.

And a rising dividend is like a magnet drawing shares higher.

‘Worst-case scenario’ predicts $500bn of cuts to global dividends

by Daniel Thomas

Close to $500bn could be wiped from the value of dividends paid by companies around the world as they scramble to protect balance sheets from the economic damage caused by the pandemic.

Dividends have already been cut by tens of billions of dollars since the start of the crisis, with companies such as Shell and BT among those that have reduced payouts for the first time in decades.

According to fund manager Janus Henderson, the best-case scenario for global dividends this year is $213bn of cuts to leave a total payout of $1.21tn, a 15 per cent decline.

Dividend payouts fall 22pc globally

by Kevin Xu

Global dividend payouts in the second quarter fell by 22 percent year-on-year to US$382.2 billion (HK$2.98 trillion), the lowest second-quarter total since 2012, due to the Covid-19 pandemic, according to asset management firm Janus Henderson.

The 22 percent headline fall was easily the worst quarterly drop since the Global Dividend index started at the end of 2009, after the global financial crisis, Janus Henderson said.

It expects headline global dividends to fall 17 percent in a best-case scenario, paying US$1.18 trillion, while the worst-case scenario could see payouts drop 23 percent at the headline level to US$1.10 trillion.

Dividends fell in every region of the world, except in North America, thanks in particular to resilience among Canadian firms.

The worst affected regions were Europe and the UK, where payouts fell by two fifths on an underlying basis.

Industry trends showed that healthcare and communications dividends proved resistant to cuts, while financials and consumer discretionary payouts were particularly vulnerable.
