Re: TRI ... Yahoo shows TRI with and EPS of $1.03 and an annual dividend of $1.16. To get a payout ratio, you divide the dividend by the EPS. ... That gives you 112%. In most sectors, EPS needs to outweigh the annual dividend by 2-1 to be well covered. TRI, as I have come to find out, is basing the dividend on free cash flow as opposed to earnings. If so, then that would need to be taken into consideration. >>> Would you like it if the payout ratio is simply wrong? <<< I can't get a 5 year CAGR on TRI from data sources without computing it myself. If it's that difficult to get information, I don't like it at all. ... :o)
