Is the BASF dividend safe?
At risk
BASF pays 4.3% a year, but that takes 155% of its free cash flow.
The numbers behind it
Dividend yield4.3%
Paid out of free cash flow155%
Paid out of profit129%
Debt in years of earnings2.7 years
How we decide
We look at how much of its free cash flow a company hands out. Under 60% leaves room, 60% to 90% is tight, and above 90% or heavy debt puts the dividend at risk.
