The translated heading is: "Narrow Timeframe for Investors: NetLink NBN Trust Approaching Ex-Dividend Date.

Investors on the hunt for lucrative dividends should take a look at NetLink NBN Trust. The telecommunications giant is about to go ex-dividend, a crucial milestone that determines dividend eligibility. The relevant date falls on November 15th. Those who purchase their shares on or after this date will be excluded from the upcoming distribution on November 29th. Last year, NetLink impressed investors with total dividend payments of 0.08 SGD per share, corresponding to an impressive dividend yield of 8.9%. However, caution is advised: with a payout ratio of 210% of net profit, the sustainability of this generous cash flow is questionable. Although the company has demonstrated a pleasing growth in earnings per share, averaging 5% over the past five years, the dividend payment notably exceeds both the net profit and the free cash flow of the company. A critical examination of NetLink's financial health is therefore indispensable. In the long run, it is hardly feasible to distribute more money than is earned without either incurring debt or depleting the company's reserves. An investment in NetLink promises opportunities given the solid growth, but potential investors should keep an eye on the stability of the dividend payout and conduct a careful evaluation of the company's financial conditions.
