Despite its recent removal from the Russell 2000 Dynamic Index, it maintains a reasonable payout ratio of 52.3%, indicating dividends are covered by earnings.

Bank OZK (OZK)

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

Overview: Bank OZK is a full-service Arkansas state-chartered bank offering retail and commercial banking services across the United States, with a market cap of approximately $5.31 billion.

Operations: Bank OZK generates revenue primarily from its Community Banking segment, which accounts for $1.49 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.6%

Bank OZK has consistently increased its dividends for fifty-nine consecutive quarters, with a current yield of 3.56%. Its dividend payments are well covered by earnings due to a low payout ratio of 26.4%, ensuring sustainability. Recent inclusion in the Russell 1000 Defensive and Value-Defensive Indices highlights its defensive appeal. Although recent earnings showed slight declines, the bank trades significantly below estimated fair value, suggesting potential undervaluation relative to peers and industry standards.

Hyster-Yale (HY)

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

Overview: Hyster-Yale, Inc. operates globally through its subsidiaries by designing, engineering, manufacturing, selling, and servicing lift trucks and related products with a market cap of approximately $710.79 million.

Operations: Hyster-Yale's revenue is primarily derived from its Lift Truck Business, with $3.15 billion from the Americas, $626.40 million from EMEA, and $193.30 million from JAPIC, along with $363.20 million from Bolzoni attachments and aftermarket parts.

Dividend Yield: 3.5%

Hyster-Yale's dividend has grown steadily over the past decade, with a recent increase to US$0.36 per share. Despite its reliable 3.49% yield, it lags behind top-tier U.S. dividend payers. The payout is sustainable, covered by both earnings and cash flows. Recent strategic realignments aim to boost profitability but follow a drop from several growth indices and declining profit margins, reflecting challenges in maintaining robust financial health amid high debt levels and reduced earnings forecasts.
