    When a company pays out more than 50% of its earnings as dividends, it may be signaling that it is not retaining enough capital for future growth and expansion.

    Such a high payout ratio could also suggest that the company is struggling to generate sufficient profits or is over-leveraged.

    On the other hand, a lower dividend payout ratio might indicate that the company is investing heavily in its future, which could lead to higher growth potential.

    Typically, a ratio of 30-50% is deemed as healthy, indicating that the company is balancing its dividend payments with its need for reinvestment.
