Timberland Bancorp
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Timberland Bancorp, Inc. is the bank holding company for Timberland Bank, offering a range of community banking services in Washington, with a market cap of $265.79 million.
Operations: Timberland Bancorp generates its revenue primarily from community banking services, amounting to $74.15 million.
Dividend Yield: 3.1%
Timberland Bancorp's dividend payments have been reliable and stable over the past decade, with a recent 4% increase to $0.25 per share. The dividend yield of 3.05% is lower than top US payers, but a low payout ratio of 31.4% suggests sustainability. Trading at 54.9% below its estimated fair value enhances its appeal as a value investment, though recent earnings showed slight declines in net income and earnings per share compared to the previous year.
SpartanNash
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: SpartanNash Company distributes and retails grocery products in the United States, with a market cap of approximately $645.73 million.
Operations: SpartanNash generates revenue through its Retail segment, which accounts for $2.79 billion, and its Wholesale segment, contributing $7.93 billion.
Dividend Yield: 4.6%
SpartanNash's dividend yield of 4.56% ranks in the top 25% among US payers, with stable and reliable growth over the past decade. However, dividends are not well covered by free cash flows, raising sustainability concerns despite a reasonable payout ratio of 64.4%. Recent earnings showed slight declines in net income and sales, while a recent quarterly dividend of $0.2175 per share was affirmed for December payment amid ongoing share buybacks totaling $39.53 million since early 2022.
