Well, on the one hand, (and tongue in cheek) it's better than what Warren Buffett pays out as a dividend from Berkshire Hathaway ... namely 0% !!! Maybe CBI will be a bit more generous once world economies enter a more "lucrative atmosphere". At the present time most of its Bottom Line goes towards Retained Income on their Balance Sheet, and based on the basic Balance Sheet equation of ... Share Capital + Retained Income = Total Assets - Total Liabilities .... if Share Capital remains constant over a period then an increase in Retained Income must improve the Balance Sheet. Maybe CBI's management believe this is the more prudent path to follow under the present international construction market condition.
