MVV Energie (XTRA:MVV1)

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

Overview: MVV Energie AG, with a market cap of €2.02 billion, operates in Germany providing electricity, heat, gas, water, and waste treatment and disposal products through its subsidiaries.

Operations: MVV Energie AG generates revenue primarily from electricity (€1,825.30 million), heat (€451.20 million), gas (€1,112.70 million), water (€84.80 million), and waste treatment and disposal products (€427.50 million).

Dividend Yield: 3.8%

MVV Energie's dividend payments have been stable and reliable over the past 10 years, with a reasonable payout ratio of 47.1% and a cash payout ratio of 59.9%, indicating sustainability. However, recent earnings reports show significant drops in net income and EPS compared to last year, which could impact future dividends. The company's current dividend yield of 3.76% is below the top tier in Germany, but its P/E ratio of 12.5x suggests it is undervalued relative to the market average (16.2x).

K+S (XTRA:SDF)

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

Overview: K+S Aktiengesellschaft, with a market cap of €1.93 billion, operates globally as a supplier of mineral products for the agricultural, industrial, consumer, and community sectors through its subsidiaries.

Operations: K+S generates €3.72 billion in revenue through its Operating Unit Europe+.

Dividend Yield: 6.5%

K+S Aktiengesellschaft's recent earnings report shows a mixed picture for dividend investors. While the company reported increased sales of €873.8 million for Q2 2024, net loss narrowed to €6.1 million from €45.3 million a year ago. Despite these improvements, profit margins remain low at 0.1%, and the dividend payout ratio is unsustainable at 2952.2%. Additionally, K+S's dividends have been volatile over the past decade, raising concerns about reliability despite a high yield of 6.49%.

However, the dividend payments have been stable and reliable over the past decade, showing consistent growth. The payout ratio stands at a reasonable 54.2%, indicating coverage by earnings, though it falls short compared to top-tier German dividend payers offering higher yields around 4.88%.
