Comments
In view of the annual growth of other water industry for the last 5 years, the dividends per share of UUL Co is 14.03% which is
a good sign showed that UUL Co are able to distribute more dividends to the shareholders. This div growth may not be sustainable
because it is higher than EPS growth.

While for earning per shares, there is a difference of 5.08% which indicates UUL Co is less profitable compared to other water industry.

The share price growth of UUL Co is 4% slower than other water industry.

Conclusion:
No. The chairman statement may not be entirely true.
Only the divicdend is abouve average while EPS and share price growth were below average
