Dividend Yield: 4.4%

Canadian Natural Resources has consistently increased its dividends over the past decade, recently raising the quarterly dividend by 7% to C$0.5625 per share. Despite a lower yield compared to top-tier Canadian payers, the dividend is well-covered with a payout ratio of 58.4% and cash payout ratio of 45.6%.

Rogers Sugar (TSX:RSI)

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

Overview: Rogers Sugar Inc. is involved in refining, packaging, marketing, and distributing sugar and maple products across Canada, the United States, Europe, and internationally, with a market cap of CA$720.17 million.

Operations: Rogers Sugar Inc.'s revenue is comprised of CA$981.45 million from sugar and CA$225.32 million from maple products.

Dividend Yield: 6.4%

Rogers Sugar's dividend yield of 6.37% ranks in the top 25% among Canadian payers, yet its sustainability is questionable as dividends are not covered by free cash flows and have been unreliable over the past decade. Although trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value, debt coverage remains an issue with operating cash flow insufficient to cover it. The company became profitable this year, but dividend growth has stalled for ten years.
