Overview: Colas SA constructs and maintains transport infrastructure worldwide, with a market cap of €5.71 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.2%

Colas has a reasonable cash payout ratio of 58.9%, ensuring dividends are covered by cash flows, but its payout ratio of 81.3% raises sustainability concerns. Although earnings grew by 22.8% last year, the dividend yield is relatively low at 4.2%, below the top French payers' average of 5.35%. The company's high debt level and volatile dividend history over the past decade further question long-term reliability for income-focused investors.
