Overview: Credito Emiliano S.p.A., along with its subsidiaries, operates in Italy focusing on commercial banking and wealth management, with a market cap of €4 billion.
Operations: Credito Emiliano S.p.A.'s revenue segments include commercial banking and wealth management activities in Italy.
Dividend Yield: 3.8%
Credito Emiliano is trading at 25% below its estimated fair value, making it potentially attractive for value-focused dividend investors. However, its dividend history is marked by volatility with past annual drops over 20%, and the current yield of 3.79% falls short of Italy's top tier. Despite this, dividends are well-covered by earnings now (26.1%) and in three years (47.1%). Earnings are projected to decline by 9.7% annually over the next three years, impacting future payouts' sustainability.
Overview: Afry AB offers engineering, design, and advisory services across the infrastructure, industry, energy, and digitalization sectors in North and South America, Finland, and Central Europe with a market cap of SEK20.43 billion.
Operations: Afry AB's revenue is primarily derived from its segments: Infrastructure (SEK10.42 billion), Industrial & Digital Solutions (SEK6.85 billion), Process Industries (SEK5.33 billion), Energy (SEK3.77 billion), and Management Consulting (SEK1.69 billion).
Dividend Yield: 3%
AFRY's dividend yield of 3.05% is lower than the Swedish market's top quartile, and its dividends have been volatile over the past decade. However, payouts are well-covered by earnings (52.1%) and cash flows (41.4%). Despite a high debt level, AFRY's recent strategic projects in renewable energy sectors may enhance long-term growth prospects. The appointment of Linda Pålsson as CEO could bring fresh leadership to capitalize on these opportunities while maintaining financial discipline.
Overview: Supreme Electronics Co., Ltd. operates as an import and export dealer of electronic products and components across Taiwan, Hong Kong, China, the United States, and internationally, with a market cap of NT$34.20 billion.
Operations: Supreme Electronics Co., Ltd. generates its revenue primarily from the Computer Peripherals and Electronic Components segment, amounting to NT$235.52 billion.
Dividend Yield: 6.6%
Supreme Electronics offers a compelling dividend yield of 6.57%, ranking in the top 25% of Taiwan's market, but its sustainability is questionable due to lack of free cash flow coverage. Despite stable and reliable dividends over the past decade, current payments exceed earnings and cash flows. The company trades at 7.8% below estimated fair value, with recent earnings growth of 70.7%. However, debt coverage by operating cash flow remains inadequate.
