Dividend prospects for Southern Railway stock in 1910s
The discussion notes Southern Railway earned 5.28 percent in 1916 and 7.86 percent in 1917 on common stock, with about $27 per share reinvested over the past dozen years. Government control fixes a 3.76 percent return on common stock, delaying near term dividends. Analysts expect postwar traffic growth in the South could boost earnings, but note $25 million five percent notes mature in 1919, delaying dividend payments until these are settled.
