Operations: Manitou BF SA generates revenue through its Products Division, which accounts for €2.47 billion, and its Services & Solutions (S&S) Division, contributing €395.12 million.
Dividend Yield: 6.1%
Manitou BF offers an attractive dividend yield, ranking in the top 25% of French market payers. Its dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 31.7% and 65.5%, respectively. However, the company has a volatile dividend history over the past decade and carries a high level of debt. Despite this, it trades below fair value estimates and analysts expect stock price growth, although earnings are forecasted to decline in coming years.

Dividend Yield: 3.2%
Jiin Yeeh Ding Enterprises has demonstrated consistent dividend growth over the past decade, though its current yield of 3.18% is below the top quartile of Taiwanese payers. The company's dividends are stable but not well covered by free cash flow due to a high cash payout ratio of 196.4%. Despite a lower profit margin this year, its price-to-earnings ratio remains attractive at 16.1x, below the market average, suggesting potential value for investors.
