I do not own this stock of Savaria Corporation (TSX-SIS, OTC-SISXF). I got this stock off the Dividend Blogger site that no longer exists. I am always interested in dividend growth small cap stock. The first few years of accounting were rather confusing, but I think I figured them out in the end.
When I was updating my spreadsheet, I noticed is that the company has done well for shareholders, especially lately as you can see from the chart below. Another thing that there has been increases in the number of outstanding shares, especially over the past 5 years. The outstanding shares have increased by 12.5% and 4% per year over the past 5 and 10 years.
Dividends are moderate with good growth. The current dividend yield is 2.17%, with 5, 10 and historical yields at 3.30%, 3.89% and 3.70%. The dividend growth is at 25%, 13% and 22% per year over the past 5, 10 and 12 years. However, there were years when dividends were cut as well as increased. Overall dividends have increased. Dividends were started in 2004.
The Dividend Payout Ratio for 2017 is 60.6% with 5 year coverage of 67%. The Dividend Payout Ratios have been too high in the past. The most recent ones are fine with the 5 year coverage a bit high but this was due to 2014 when there was a big dividend increase, but not a big EPS increase.
All the Debt Ratios are good. The Long Term Debt to Market Cap is 0.05 which is very low. The Liquidity Ratio for 2017 is 2.42 with 5 year median at 2.49. The Debt Ratio for 2017 is 2.71 with 5 year median at 2.06. I like these at 1.50 or above. The Leverage and Debt/Equity Ratios are also quite good at 1.58 and 0.58 respectively with 5 year medians of 2.03 and 1.03 respectively. This is a small cap stock and it is important to have good debt ratios when you are a small cap.
The Total Return per year is show below for years of 5 to 16. Under the Capital Gain column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to capital gains. Under the Dividend column is the portion of the Total Return attributable to dividends. See charts below.
Shareholders have recently done very well on this stock in both capital gains and dividend growth. The stock has gone down a bit this year. However, the TSX has not done well overall either.

| 15 | 22.48% | 13.22% | 12.18% | 1.04% |
| 16 | 22.25% | 20.68% | 1.57% |

The current P/B Ratio is some 129% above the 10 year median. This stock price testing suggests that the stock is relatively expensive.
I get an historical median dividend yield of 3.70%. The current dividend yield is 2.17% based on dividends of $3.60 and a stock price of $16.57. The current yield is some 41% below the historical dividend yield. This stock price testing suggests that the stock is relatively expensive.

When I look at analysts’ recommendations I find Strong Buy (1) and Buy (5). The consensus would be a Buy. The 12 month stock price is $20.67. This implies a total return of 26.92% with 24.74% from capital gains and 2.17% from dividends based on a current stock price of $16.57.
