Thanks for taking questions. Mine is one that has always puzzled me - How are Utility stocks such as Ausnet (AST), Spark (SKI) and Transurban (TCL) able to sustain paying dividends that are supposedly higher than their earnings? I understand that a company can do so in the short term from cash on hand or debt but this can't be maintained long term. However, every so often over the years I've looked at them and see the same thing. Surely the way the figures are presented distorts the reality? - or not? Could you explain please?
Regards,
Jamie, Melbourne.
