Companies that pay out steady cash dividends are attractive to income-seeking investors, and companies that are financially healthy tend to maintain their dividend payout schedule. For this reason, investors can find it insightful to see if a company has been increasing or decreasing their dividend payout schedule and if their earnings are growing.
As you can see, from 2020 to 2023, investors saw an average increase in the company's dividend per share, rising from $1.09 in 2020 to $1.21 in 2023. This is good for investors because it shows that the company has steadily returned more capital back to their shareholders and it could mean that they are planning to continue increasing dividends.
The earnings chart highlights a decrease in Franklin Resources's earnings per share, declining from $2.62 in 2020 to $2.59 in 2023. This decline in earnings raises a red flag for income-seeking investors, as it suggests a potential decrease in the company's ability to generate cash for dividend payouts. It is essential to closely examine the factors behind this decrease and assess the long-term impact on dividend sustainability.
