preferred dividend coverage

0.03 sec.

Preferred dividend coverage

Net income after interest and taxes (before common stock dividends) divided by preferred stock dividends.

preferred dividend coverage

The measure of a firm's ability to meet its dividend obligations on preferred stock. The greater the coverage the less the chance that management will pass a dividend. This ratio is calculated by dividing earnings before taxes and fixed charges by fixed charges plus preferred dividends (divided by one minus the firm's tax rate).
