Overview: Savola Group Company, along with its subsidiaries, is involved in the production, marketing, and distribution of food products and has a market capitalization of SAR11.32 billion.
Savola Group's dividend profile shows mixed signals. While the company offers a high dividend yield, placing it in the top 25% of Saudi Arabia's market, its dividends have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade. The payout ratio of 45.8% suggests dividends are well-covered by earnings, yet cash flow coverage is tighter at 89.3%. Recent stock splits and significant shareholder dilution could impact future dividend stability and investor sentiment.

Recent executive changes are unlikely to affect dividend stability significantly.
