Dividend Insight

Superior has a dividend payout ratio of 80.0%, which indicates that the Company spends approximately $0.80 for dividend distribution out of every $1.00 earned. The dividend payout ratio reflects the amount a Company is returning to shareholders versus how much money it is keeping on hand to reinvest in growth, to pay off debt, and/or to add to its reserves.

According to analysts' estimates, Superior is forecasted to report earnings of $0.77 for the next year, which is more than double compared to the Company's annualized dividend of $0.36 per share.

Superior reported cash generated from operating activities of $46.5 million in Q4 2017 compared to $39.2 million in Q4 2016. The Company's strong financial position indicates its ability to absorb any fluctuations in earnings and cash flow and to sustain its dividend distribution for a long period.
