Top Pick
Total Energy Services
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Total Energy Services Inc. is an energy services company with operations mainly in Canada, the United States, and Australia, and it has a market capitalization of approximately CA$378.04 million.
Operations: The company generates revenue through several key segments: Well Servicing (CA$93.37 million), Contract Drilling Services (CA$286.01 million), Compression and Process Services (CA$397.05 million), and Rentals and Transportation Services (CA$82.87 million).
Dividend Yield: 3.7%
Total Energy Services maintains a sustainable dividend with a low payout ratio of 40% and an even lower cash payout ratio at 17.8%, ensuring dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows. Despite recent declines in quarterly sales and net income, the consistent dividend declaration, including the latest CAD 0.09 per share for Q2 2024, highlights management's confidence in financial stability. However, its dividend yield at 3.73% trails behind top Canadian payers, and historical volatility in payouts suggests potential uncertainty for long-term income-focused investors.
