Regular readers will know that we love our dividends at Simply Wall St, which is why it's exciting to see SIG Combibloc Group AG (VTX:SIGN) is about to trade ex-dividend in the next 4 days. Investors can purchase shares before the 14th of April in order to be eligible for this dividend, which will be paid on the 16th of April.
SIG Combibloc Group's next dividend payment will be CHF0.38 per share, which looks like a nice increase on last year, when the company distributed a total of CHF0.36 to shareholders. Dividends are a major contributor to investment returns for long term holders, but only if the dividend continues to be paid. So we need to check whether the dividend payments are covered, and if earnings are growing.
