Clariant (SWX:CLN)

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

Overview: Clariant AG develops, manufactures, distributes, and sells specialty chemicals globally with a market cap of CHF3.39 billion.

Operations: Clariant AG's revenue is derived from three main segments: Catalysis (CHF927 million), Care Chemicals (CHF2.22 billion), and Adsorbents & Additives (CHF1.02 billion).

Dividend Yield: 4.1%

Clariant's dividend yield of 4.07% ranks in the top 25% of Swiss dividend payers, but its sustainability is questionable with a high payout ratio of 117.1%, indicating dividends are not well covered by earnings. Despite a reasonable cash payout ratio of 55%, past dividend payments have been volatile and unreliable over the last decade. Recent legal issues, including a €1.4 billion lawsuit from BASF, could further impact financial stability and future payouts.

Dividend Yield: 4.1%

Rix Corporation's dividend yield of 4.12% ranks in the top 25% of Japanese payers, supported by a low payout ratio of 39%, indicating dividends are well covered by earnings and cash flows (51.8%).
