Frequently asked
Does Core Molding Technologies (CMT) pay a dividend?+
No. Core Molding Technologies (CMT) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2018, and nothing has been paid since.
How does Core Molding Technologies return cash to shareholders?+
Through share buybacks rather than dividends. Over the last twelve months Core Molding Technologies reduced its share count at a rate equivalent to a 1.7% buyback yield. A buyback returns value by shrinking the share count, so each remaining share owns more of the business, but unlike a dividend it pays you nothing in cash and can be stopped at any time without an announcement.
Could Core Molding Technologies afford to pay a dividend?+
Not currently. Core Molding Technologies's free cash flow is negative at -$19 million, meaning the business consumed cash over the period rather than generating it. A company funding a dividend from cash it is not producing would be paying shareholders out of its balance sheet or borrowings, which is not sustainable.
Which materials companies do pay dividends?+
Our Materials sector page ranks the companies we cover by dividend score, which combines payout safety, free cash flow coverage and growth record. If income is what you are after, start there rather than with Core Molding Technologies.
