Eiffage (ENXTPA:FGR)

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

Overview: Eiffage SA operates in the construction and concessions sectors across France, Europe, and internationally, with a market cap of €11.27 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.8%

Trading at 31% below estimated fair value and offering a modest yield of 3.85%, it still falls short compared to top French payers. Recent contract wins, such as the Frontex headquarters project in Warsaw, highlight operational strength but don't directly address dividend reliability concerns due to high debt levels.
