Fair Value Through the Statement of Profit or Loss.


Dividend cover measures the safety or sustainability of the future dividend flow, from the perspective of the investor.
The greater the cover ratio, the greater the assumed likelihood that the firm paying the dividend will continue to be able to pay it in the future.
In the situation where the cover ratio falls below 1.0, the dividend is said to be ''uncovered'' and it will not be sustainable at its previous level unless there is a recovery in the firm's profits.
Also known as the dividend cover ratio.
