UniCredit

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: UniCredit S.p.A. is a commercial banking institution operating in Italy, Germany, Central Europe, and Eastern Europe with a market cap of €69.59 billion.

Operations: UniCredit S.p.A.'s revenue segments are comprised of €10.88 billion from Italy, €5.27 billion from Germany, €4.29 billion from Central Europe, €2.87 billion from Eastern Europe, and €1.36 billion from Russia.

Dividend Yield: 4.1%

UniCredit's dividend payments are well covered by earnings, with a current payout ratio of 46.3%, expected to rise to 56.5% in three years. However, its dividend yield of 4.13% is below the top tier in Italy, and past payments have been volatile and unreliable. Despite trading at a discount to estimated fair value and peers, challenges include high bad loans (2.4%) and an unstable dividend track record amidst recent fixed-income offerings totaling over €3 billion since November 2024.
