Short CSL ? HCQ is the Cure, page-14

Seems CSL might be one of the few companies to keep or raise their divvy...

More than 35% of Australian companies reporting earnings this month are unlikely to pay a dividend, UBS says, compared to less than 10% of companies that reported this time a year ago. However, the investment bank still expects 30 companies to maintain or grow their dividends, offering opportunities for stocks to outperform as investors seek stable sources of income. Among the companies likely to hold or raise their dividends are Brambles, Fortescue Metals, Ansell and CSL. The outlook for payouts overall is grim, however. UBS notes consensus expectations for a record 39% drop in dividends across the market in FY 2020. That's far worse than the 20% decline seen during the GFC.
