Dividend Yield: 3.4%
Publicis Groupe offers a mixed dividend profile. While its dividend payments have been volatile over the past decade, recent increases show promise, with a proposed €3.60 per share for 2024, marking an 80% rise since 2020. The payout ratio of 49.3% suggests dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows. Despite trading below estimated fair value and stable earnings growth, the dividend yield remains lower than top-tier French market payers.

Dividend Yield: 7.5%
BRC Asia's dividend profile is marked by a strong yield of 7.53%, placing it among the top 25% in Singapore. Despite its volatile dividend history, recent increases, including a proposed final and special dividend totaling 14 Singapore cents per share for FY2024, indicate growth potential. The dividends are well-covered by earnings (41.1% payout ratio) and cash flows (29.8% payout ratio), though future earnings are forecast to decline slightly over the next three years.

Dividend Yield: 3.6%
SINBON Electronics offers a stable dividend history with consistent growth over the past decade, supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 67.8%. However, its current dividend yield of 3.58% is lower than the top quartile in Taiwan's market and not well covered by free cash flow due to a high cash payout ratio of 104.4%. Despite this, SINBON's earnings have grown significantly at 14.9% annually over five years, suggesting potential for future improvement in coverage.
