Dividend Yield: 3.9%
Arkema's dividend yield stands at 3.91%, positioned below the top quartile of French dividend payers at 5.24%. Despite a dip in Q1 earnings to €79 million from €132 million year-over-year, dividends remain sustainable with a payout ratio of 74.9% and cash payout ratio of 45.9%. The firm's decade-long history of reliable and growing dividends underscores its commitment, although recent profitability challenges are noted with profit margins falling to 3.7% from last year’s 6.7%.
Amundi
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Amundi is a publicly owned investment manager with a market capitalization of approximately €13.41 billion, specializing in asset management services.
Operations: Amundi generates revenue primarily through asset management, totaling approximately €6.03 billion.
Dividend Yield: 6.2%
Amundi S.A. recently affirmed a dividend of €4.10 per share, reflecting a commitment to shareholder returns amid steady financial growth, with Q1 revenue up to €824 million from €794 million year-over-year and net income rising to €318 million. Despite this, the firm's dividend history is marked by instability over its 8-year payout period, with a payout ratio at 71.9% suggesting earnings coverage but an uneven track record in dividend reliability. New leadership under Barry Glavin could signal strategic shifts, potentially impacting future dividends and investment strategies.
