SpareBank 1 Nord-Norge offers a stable dividend profile, with dividends well-covered by earnings at a payout ratio of 44%, expected to rise to 66.5% in three years. The bank's dividend payments have been reliable and stable over the past decade, though its current yield of 5.67% is lower than the top quartile in Norway. Recent business reorganizations aim to enhance efficiency and collaboration, potentially supporting future financial stability and dividend sustainability.
Overview: Takeuchi Mfg. Co., Ltd. manufactures and sells construction machinery both in Japan and internationally, with a market cap of ¥237.38 billion.
Operations: Takeuchi Mfg. Co., Ltd. generates revenue through the manufacturing and sale of construction machinery across domestic and international markets.
Dividend Yield: 4%
Takeuchi Mfg. offers a mixed dividend profile. Despite its dividends being well-covered by earnings with a 24% payout ratio, the high cash payout ratio of 363.2% raises concerns about sustainability from cash flows. The company's dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, positioning it in the top 25% of JP market payers with a yield of 4.02%. However, recent share buybacks suggest efforts to enhance shareholder returns amidst forecasted earnings declines.
Overview: Bayerische Motoren Werke Aktiengesellschaft develops, manufactures, and sells automobiles, motorcycles, and related spare parts and accessories globally with a market cap of €49.20 billion.
Operations: Bayerische Motoren Werke's revenue is primarily derived from its Automotive segment at €128.15 billion, complemented by its Financial Services generating €38.10 billion, and the Motorcycles segment contributing €3.21 billion.
Dividend Yield: 7.6%
Bayerische Motoren Werke's dividend yield of 7.6% ranks it among the top 25% in Germany, yet its sustainability is questionable as dividends are not covered by free cash flows or earnings. Despite a low payout ratio of 36%, dividend reliability has been compromised due to volatility over the past decade. The stock trades below estimated fair value, yet recent earnings declines may impact future payouts, underscoring potential risks for income-focused investors.
