Nature Holdings
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: The Nature Holdings Co., Ltd. is a lifestyle company with a market cap of ₩143.32 billion.
Operations: The Nature Holdings Co., Ltd. generates revenue primarily from its apparel segment, which accounts for ₩537.75 billion.
Dividend Yield: 4.1%
Nature Holdings has been paying dividends for less than a decade, but its dividend payments have been stable and reliable. The company's payout ratio of 19.3% indicates that dividends are well covered by earnings, and the cash payout ratio of 8.9% suggests strong coverage by cash flows as well. Trading at a significant discount to its estimated fair value, Nature Holdings offers good relative value compared to peers. Recent share buybacks may further enhance shareholder value.
NZX
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: NZX Limited operates a stock exchange in New Zealand with a market capitalization of NZ$516.70 million.
Operations: NZX Limited's revenue segments include trading and clearing fees, listing fees, data services, and funds management.
Dividend Yield: 3.7%
NZX Limited has demonstrated reliable and stable dividend payments over the past decade, though its current yield of 3.65% is modest compared to top-tier NZ dividend payers. The recent earnings report shows significant growth, with net income rising to NZ$25.49 million from NZ$13.55 million last year, but the dividend coverage by earnings remains weak. Despite a high cash payout ratio of 88.8%, dividends are covered by cash flows, suggesting some sustainability concerns remain unaddressed.
