Dividend Yield: 4.2%
Boiron's dividend yield of 4.2% is lower than the top 25% of French dividend payers. While its dividends have increased over the past decade, they have been volatile and unreliable.

Dividend Yield: 8.1%
Électricité de Strasbourg Société Anonyme offers an attractive dividend yield of 8.08%, placing it in the top 25% of French dividend payers. However, its dividends are not covered by free cash flows and have shown volatility over the past decade. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 66% and a significant earnings growth of 69.9% last year, the sustainability of its high dividend yield remains questionable due to inconsistent historical payments and lack of free cash flow coverage.
