JDM JingDaMachine’s dividend yield of 3.38% ranks in the top 25% of the CN market, but its dividends have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade, with a high cash payout ratio of 97%, indicating poor coverage by free cash flows. Despite a favorable price-to-earnings ratio (23.3x) compared to the CN market (33.6x), and earnings growth potential, its dividend sustainability remains questionable amidst recent earnings stability challenges.
