dividend coverage

The extent to which a firm's net income supports the company's total dividend payments. For example, a utility earning $5.00 per share and paying a dividend of $4.79 per share has relatively weak dividend coverage. Poor coverage permits a firm's management to enjoy less flexibility to raise dividends or to keep them at the same level in the event that earnings decline. See also preferred dividend coverage.
