Rexel
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Rexel S.A. is a company that, along with its subsidiaries, distributes low and ultra-low voltage electrical products and services across residential, commercial, and industrial markets in France, Europe, North America, and Asia-Pacific; it has a market cap of approximately €7.71 billion.
Operations: Rexel S.A. generates its revenue primarily through the wholesale distribution of electronics, amounting to €19.02 billion.
Dividend Yield: 4.6%
Rexel's dividend payments are covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 51.6% and 39.9%, respectively, suggesting sustainability. However, its dividend yield of 4.64% is below the top quartile in France, and its track record has been volatile over the past decade despite some growth in payments. Trading at a discount to estimated fair value indicates potential for value investors, but high debt levels could pose risks to future payouts.
Canny Elevator
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Canny Elevator Co., Ltd. operates in China, focusing on the research and development, manufacturing, production, sale, installation, repair, and maintenance of elevators with a market cap of CN¥5.52 billion.
Operations: Canny Elevator Co., Ltd.'s revenue is primarily derived from its elevator segment, which generated CN¥4.34 billion.
Dividend Yield: 5%
Canny Elevator's dividend yield of 5.02% ranks in the top 25% of CN market payers, but its stability is questionable due to a history of volatility and a high payout ratio of 94.3%, indicating dividends aren't well covered by earnings. While cash flows cover payments with a reasonable cash payout ratio, recent shareholder discussions about selling assets could impact future payouts, reflecting potential financial strategy shifts amidst forecasted earnings growth.
