New Hope

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: New Hope Corporation Limited, operating in the energy sector, focuses on the exploration, development, production, and processing of coal and oil and gas properties with a market capitalization of approximately A$3.82 billion.

Operations: New Hope Corporation Limited generates revenue primarily from its coal mining activities in New South Wales and Queensland, totaling approximately A$1.88 billion and A$0.05 billion respectively.

Dividend Yield: 9.5%

New Hope Corporation Limited, with a dividend yield of 9.51%, offers an attractive rate in the top 25% for Australian dividend stocks. Despite this, its dividends raise sustainability concerns; they are not well-covered by cash flows, evidenced by a high cash payout ratio of 90.2%. Financially, the company saw a significant drop in net income and revenue in the half-year report ending January 2024, with earnings per share also declining from A$0.775 to A$0.298. While trading at 45.2% below estimated fair value suggests potential upside, inconsistent dividends over the past decade and forecasted earnings decline could concern investors looking for stable returns.
