DEUTZ (XTRA:DEZ)

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

Overview: DEUTZ Aktiengesellschaft is a company that develops, manufactures, and sells diesel and gas engines across various global regions, with a market capitalization of approximately €0.62 billion.

Operations: DEUTZ Aktiengesellschaft generates revenue primarily through two segments: Classic, which brought in €2.01 billion, and Green, contributing €5.30 million.

Dividend Yield: 3.4%

DEUTZ reported a decrease in Q1 sales to €454.7 million and net income to €8.8 million, reflecting a challenging quarter compared to the previous year. Despite this, DEUTZ maintains a cash payout ratio of 34.6%, indicating dividends are well-covered by cash flow but has shown an unstable dividend track record over the past decade with volatile payments. The company trades at 68.5% below estimated fair value, suggesting potential undervaluation relative to its performance metrics and industry peers.

Operations: SAF-Holland SE generates revenue from three primary geographical segments: Americas (€898.79 million), Asia/Pacific including China and India (€280.64 million), and Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) with €951.75 million.

Dividend Yield: 4.6%

SAF-Holland SE demonstrated a robust Q1 2024, with sales increasing to €505.43 million and net income rising to €26.23 million. Despite a low dividend yield of 4.57% against the German market's top quartile at 4.72%, its dividends are well-supported by a payout ratio of 44.6% and a cash payout ratio of 31.6%. However, the company has faced challenges with inconsistent dividend payments over the last decade, coupled with high debt levels, which could concern conservative dividend investors seeking stability.

Dividend Yield: 3.1%

Uzin Utz SE offers a steady dividend yield of 3.11%, underperforming the top 25% of German dividend stocks at 4.72%.

Despite this reliability, with dividends increasing over the past decade and earnings forecast to grow annually by 5.64%, the company's recent financials show a slight decline in net income from €25.31 million to €22.58 million year-over-year, alongside a drop in sales from €487.13 million to €479.34 million as reported on March 27, 2024.
