Earnings Fixes Everything

Earnings Fixes Everything is Fly High Investing’s central doctrine: dividends must ultimately be supported by earnings, and earning power is the primary signal we use to judge that support. The phrase does not mean earnings solve every business problem or guarantee an individual dividend. Read why this doctrine guides Fly High Investing.

Why this matters to income investors

A high dividend needs an economic source. Fly High treats the earnings behind the payment as the primary signal of whether that income has support.

How to use earnings fixes everything in your research

Identify the earnings measure the company says funds its dividend, then compare a current four-quarter estimate with regular and regularly paid supplemental dividends. Watch how that support changes after each report.
