Operations: MARR S.p.A.'s revenue is primarily generated from the distribution of food products, amounting to €2.02 billion.
Dividend Yield: 5.8%
MARR's dividend is well-covered by both earnings (payout ratio: 84.9%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio: 54%), suggesting sustainability. Despite a history of volatility, dividends have grown over the past decade. Currently, its yield of 5.76% ranks in the top 25% of Italian dividend payers. However, the company's unstable dividend track record raises concerns about reliability despite trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value and positive analyst sentiment for price appreciation.
