One result of rudimentary work would be to contact PCHM and ask them to remain consistent with their peer PMD in terms of payout ratio. The second result would be that our dividend would be higher than 8 cents plus 4 cents.
I've done some work in the past. I've glanced.
I would be surprised if 16 cents was not a minimum dividend number. What if it is 20 cents or more?
Should I spend a few days on this and then email management my findings? Or could someone else? I really would like to have this information to them before their next report.
Everyone knows that I am expecting warnings about declining earnings due to investments, and then eventually taxes. Even with that said, there is room to pay the dividends I suggest based on PMD's payout ratio, which again has been back of the envelope calculations from time to time in the past.
16-20 cents in dividends. A slightly educated guess. My readers do trust me a little.
16-20 cents in dividends. Get to work. Make it official. Put money in everyone's pocket.
