Sodexo
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Sodexo S.A. is a global provider of food services and facilities management solutions, with a market cap of €11.77 billion.
Operations: Sodexo S.A. generates revenue from its operations across Europe (€8.45 billion), North America (€11.11 billion), and the Rest of the World (€4.24 billion).
Dividend Yield: 3.3%
Sodexo's dividend strategy shows mixed signals for investors. While the company recently proposed a 17.8% increase in its ordinary dividend to €2.65 per share, aligning with a 50% payout ratio, its dividends have been volatile over the past decade. Despite this, dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 52.6% and 40.3%, respectively. However, Sodexo's high debt level and low dividend yield compared to peers may concern some investors seeking stability in dividend stocks.
