Hi, Reference: Chapter 10, CMP p.7 Could you please clarify what ratio "earnings cover" is? The link below suggests it is the same as dividend cover (though the notes "...dividend and earnings..." implies it's something else) http://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/...over-key-measure-picking-dividend-payers.html Stumbled across this thread too which leaves the question unanswered: https://www.acted.co.uk/forums/index.php?threads/income-cover-and-earnings-cover.2276/
I think, in this context "...dividend and earnings cover..." is referring to a) dividend (level, consistency etc) and b) the dividend cover (as it is called in CT2) the number of times the dividend is covered by the earnings (hence sometimes called earnings cover)
