– What stands out?
We welcome a new dividend challenger HKG:0297 Sinofert. They do fertilizers.
And it all looks good:

• Yield 6%
• Dividend growth 1 yr: 18%
• Average DG 5-yr: 30%
• It would take 2 years to get 10% Yield on Costs. (Given 5-yr DG rate of 10% and 9% yield)
• P/E: 5
• Return of Equity 11

All looks good. BUT, only 5 year of increases and a lot of bumps before that. (Look at the chart) And then there is this: Over the last 5 years, dividend only grew when EPS also grew.. Which makes perfect sense and is totally fine, as long as EPS rises. Dividend payout ratio was increased from 30% to 35% and that causes the 30% dividend growth over 2021.

What is the extra column this week? 
This week the extra column is the 1, 3 and 5-year average dividend growth.

The 5-year average dividend growth is the average annual increase in dividend payments over the past 5 years. It’s a great way to calculate the percentage increase in dividends over time. You can do this by adding up the year-over-year increases in dividends from the past 5 years and dividing by 5.

For instance, let’s take the example of a company that paid dividends of $1 per share in Year 1, $1.10 per share in Year 2, $1.20 per share in Year 3, $1.30 per share in Year 4, and $1.40 per share in Year 5. The 5-year average dividend growth would be 12% ((1.10-1.00)/1.00 + (1.20-1.10)/1.10 + (1.30-1.20)/1.20 + (1.40-1.30)/1.30)/4 * 100%).

Similarly, the 3 and 5-year average dividend growth is the average annual increase in dividend payments over the past 3 or 5 years. To calculate this, you need to add up the year-over-year increases in dividends from the past 3 or 5 years and divide by 3 or 5.

What does average dividend growth tell you?
The average dividend growth can provide important information about a company’s financial health and stability. It indicates how much a company’s dividend payout has increased, on average, over the past 5 years. A consistently increasing dividend payment can signal that a company is growing and generating more profits, which is always a positive sign for investors.
