Reuters is reporting that unnamed securities analysts think Safe Bulkers (SB) will earn between $0.32 and $0.43 per share in 1Q2011. Safe Bulkers will report 1Q2011 earnings after the market closes on May 3rd, 2011. Safe Bulkers $0.15 quarterly dividend is safe.
Dividend payout ratio - Let’s assume for a moment that the low estimate of $0.32 is accurate. Their dividend payout ratio would be 47% (dividend per share/earnings per share or $0.15/$0.32). If the best case proved to be true, then the dividend payout ratio would drop to 35%. Either way the dividend is safe.
Dividend yield – Safe Bulkers is a high dividend stock yielding 7.41% ($0.60/$8.10). It has paid $0.15 per quarter for the past nine quarters.
Earning power – The company has a five year average earning power of $1.50 and only trades at 5.4 times the 5 yr. average earnings. That is a rare value in this stock market.
