Singapore Airlines' dividend, recently increased to S$0.38 per share, is covered by earnings (75.9% payout ratio) and cash flow (45.9% cash payout ratio), though its historical volatility raises sustainability concerns. Despite a top-tier yield of 7.22%, forecasted earnings declines challenge future growth prospects. Recent operational results show increased passenger and cargo volumes, but lower load factors may impact profitability, influencing dividend reliability amidst ongoing share repurchase activities aimed at enhancing shareholder value.
