Some help with Dividend calcs please

[stargazer]

Hi all

Looking at companies that pay dividends eg banks etc.

Quite aware i can look up past dividends on various sites etc.

What i am after is how can i work out if the company is going to pay a dividend in the future or increase its dividend in the future.

In relation to yields a stock that has a share price falling will increase its yield so it does not mean much in terms of a better yield through earnings.


I would think that dividend calculations comes from future earnings calculations. How does one do this. Where do i look etc.

Cheers
