Dividend Yield: 5.8%
MFE-Mediaforeurope offers a compelling dividend yield of 5.84%, ranking in the top 25% among Italian dividend payers. The company's dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 61.8% and 41.9%, respectively, despite a historically unstable track record over the past decade. Recent earnings growth supports sustainability, with sales reaching €2 billion for the first nine months of 2024 and net income rising to €96.2 million from €71 million year-over-year.
Aisin
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Aisin Corporation manufactures and sells automotive parts, as well as energy and lifestyle-related products, with a market cap of ¥1.34 trillion.
Operations: Aisin Corporation's revenue segments are comprised of ¥3.09 trillion from Japan, ¥1.06 trillion from North America, ¥590.47 million from China, ¥514.99 million from ASEAN India, and ¥310.67 million from Europe.
Dividend Yield: 3.4%
Aisin's dividend payments are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 72.3% and 56.8%, respectively, though the dividend history has shown volatility over the past decade. Despite this instability, dividends have grown in the last ten years. The recent completion of a significant share buyback program worth ¥83.91 billion could enhance shareholder value but doesn't directly impact dividend stability or yield competitiveness in Japan's market.
