What Can We Expect From This Favorite of Income Investors?

Dividend hunters have a love affair with Zim Integrated Shipping Services (NYSE: ZIM).

The last dividend paid in April was $6.40 per share, which equaled a 27% yield. That wasn't an annual number... That was the yield on the actual quarterly dividend. So you can understand why income investors are infatuated with this stock.

But then, as with most infatuations, reality sets in. That gorgeous girl you're obsessed with comes with a whole lot of baggage (see last week's Safety Net column for a real-life example). The car of your dreams that you just had to have needs a lot of repairs. And that 27% yielder stops paying a dividend.

That's right. Zim didn't cut its dividend. It omitted it.

Zim's dividend is variable. The policy is to distribute 30% to 50% of net income to shareholders in dividends. In May, the company reported a net loss. No net income means no dividend.

As you can imagine, omitting the dividend leaves a mark on the dividend safety rating.

The shipping company is not projected to earn a quarterly profit again until the third quarter of next year.

Interestingly, free cash flow is projected to be substantial in 2023, coming in at $1.4 billion. If that winds up being the case, Zim could easily afford a dividend. However, its policy is based on net income, not free cash flow, so I wouldn't count on it.

How does a company lose money but generate millions or even over a billion dollars in free cash flow?
