Operations: Evertz Technologies Limited generates CA$500.44 million in revenue from the television broadcast equipment market.

Dividend Yield: 6.5%

Evertz Technologies' dividend yield of 6.5% ranks in the top 25% of Canadian payers, but its sustainability is questionable due to a high payout ratio (92.4%) and volatile past payments. Although dividends are covered by cash flows (60.2%), recent earnings reports show declining sales and net income, impacting future payouts. The company declared a quarterly dividend of CAD 0.195 per share, payable on September 25, 2024, despite these financial challenges.

However, forecasted earnings declines and recent buybacks may affect future payouts and stability.
