Analyst Matthew Brooks commented that the firm had warned in a note issued in August that the dividend yield of the company was too high, limiting reinvestment. Subsequently, the firm had also warned in September that the company might have to borrow to fund its estimated dividend payment for 2016 due to bad weather.
