High Yield And Dependable
Super Retail Group’s yield sits at 6.5%, which is high for Specialty Retail stocks.

If there is one thing that you want to be reliable in your life, it’s dividend stocks and their constant income stream. In the case of SUL it has increased its DPS from A$0.13 to A$0.49 in the past 10 years. It has also been paying out dividend consistently during this time, as you’d expect for a company increasing its dividend levels. These are all positive signs of a great, reliable dividend stock.
Super Retail Group has a trailing twelve-month payout ratio of 75%, meaning the dividend is sufficiently covered by earnings. However, going forward, analysts expect SUL’s payout to fall to 66% of its earnings, which leads to a dividend yield of around 7.2%. However, EPS should increase to A$0.77, meaning that the lower payout ratio does not necessarily implicate a lower dividend payment.
When thinking about whether a dividend is sustainable, another factor to consider is the cash flow. A business with strong cash flow can sustain a higher divided payout ratio than a company with weak cash flow.
