Mensch und Maschine Software (XTRA:MUM)

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

Overview: Mensch und Maschine Software SE, with a market cap of approximately €0.91 billion, offers CAD/CAM/CAE, product data management, and building information modeling/management solutions across Germany and globally.

Operations: Mensch und Maschine Software SE generates its revenue primarily from providing solutions in computer-aided design, manufacturing, and engineering across various international markets.

Dividend Yield: 3%

Mensch und Maschine Software SE, a German software firm, has shown consistent growth in earnings and sales, as evidenced by its recent quarterly results with sales reaching €75.1 million and net income at €7.34 million. Despite this performance, the company's dividend yield stands at 3.04%, which is low relative to top German dividend payers. While dividends have grown over the past decade and are supported by cash flows (cash payout ratio of 64.5%), they are not well covered by earnings with a high payout ratio of 91.1%. Analysts predict the stock price could rise by 31.3%, but concerns about dividend sustainability due to coverage issues persist.

Recent financials show a significant drop in revenue to €56.04 million from €68.31 million year-over-year, and net income plummeted to €0.059 million from €2.2 million, indicating potential pressure on future dividend reliability despite current coverage levels.
