B&C Speakers

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: B&C Speakers S.p.A. produces and markets professional loudspeakers under the B&C brand both in Italy and internationally, with a market cap of €175.73 million.

Operations: B&C Speakers S.p.A. generates its revenue primarily from the Acoustic Transducers segment, which accounts for €99.40 million.

Dividend Yield: 4.4%

B&C Speakers offers a mixed dividend profile. While its payout ratios—44.1% from earnings and 50.8% from cash flow—indicate sustainable dividends, the company has an unstable dividend history with volatility over the past decade. Recent earnings growth of €15.78 million for nine months ended September 2024 suggests financial strength, yet its 4.38% yield is below top-tier Italian market payers, and dividends have been unreliable despite some growth over ten years.

Dividend Yield: 3.1%

Japan Wool Textile's dividend profile is supported by a low payout ratio of 30.7% from earnings and 57.4% from cash flow, indicating sustainability. The company has consistently increased dividends over the past decade, with recent hikes to ¥24 per share for fiscal year-end 2024 and guidance for further increases in 2025.

Dividend Yield: 3.8%

Musashino Bank offers a stable dividend profile, with dividends per share remaining consistent over the past decade.

Earnings have grown at an annual rate of 8.3% over five years, supporting potential future payouts. However, there's insufficient data to assess long-term sustainability or coverage beyond three years.
