Amidst a backdrop of cautious optimism in European markets, with the pan-European STOXX Europe 600 Index experiencing slight fluctuations, investors are increasingly attentive to opportunities that offer stability and potential income. In this context, dividend stocks on Euronext Amsterdam, such as Koninklijke Heijmans and others, attract those looking for investments that might provide regular income streams in uncertain times.
Overview: Koninklijke Heijmans N.V. operates in property development, construction, and infrastructure sectors primarily in the Netherlands and abroad, with a market capitalization of approximately €544.56 million.
Operations: Koninklijke Heijmans N.V. generates revenue through several key segments: Real Estate (€411.79 million), Van Wanrooij (€124.76 million), Infrastructure Works (€800.03 million), and Construction & Technology (€1.08 billion).
Dividend Yield: 4.4%
Koninklijke Heijmans exhibits a mixed dividend profile. With a payout ratio of 37.1% and cash payout ratio of 59%, its dividends are well-supported by both earnings and cash flow, suggesting sustainability despite the company's volatile share price over the past three months. However, its dividend yield at 4.38% trails behind the top Dutch dividend payers. Additionally, while HEIJM has increased dividends over the last decade, their overall reliability and stability have been inconsistent due to fluctuations in payments.
Overview: Koninklijke KPN N.V. is a telecommunications and IT service provider in the Netherlands, with a market capitalization of approximately €13.52 billion.
Operations: Koninklijke KPN N.V. generates its revenue primarily from three segments: Consumer (€2.93 billion), Business (€1.84 billion), and Wholesale (€0.70 billion).
Dividend Yield: 4.4%
Koninklijke KPN reported a slight decrease in net income and earnings per share in Q1 2024, with sales increasing to €1.38 billion from €1.34 billion year-over-year. Despite a volatile dividend history over the past decade, KPN's current dividends are supported by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 78.4% and 59.6%, respectively. However, its dividend yield of 4.36% is below the top quartile of Dutch dividend stocks at 5.54%. The recent appointment of PriceWaterhouseCoopers as auditors reflects ongoing governance adjustments.
Overview: Van Lanschot Kempen NV, operating both in the Netherlands and internationally, offers a range of financial services with a market capitalization of approximately €1.69 billion.
Operations: Van Lanschot Kempen NV generates revenue primarily through its Investment Banking Clients and Wholesale & Institutional Clients segments, which contribute €41 million and €83.10 million respectively.
Dividend Yield: 10%
Van Lanschot Kempen has shown robust earnings growth of 81.8% over the past year, with forecasts predicting a steady increase. Despite a short dividend history of three years, dividends are well-covered by earnings at a 70.9% payout ratio, expected to remain sustainable at 66.6% in three years. The firm's dividend yield stands at an impressive 10%, placing it among the top quartile in the Dutch market. However, shareholder dilution occurred last year and its dividend track record is not long-standing.
