Dividend Yield: 3.6%

Oeneo's dividend payments, covered by a 75% payout ratio from both earnings and cash flows, indicate sustainability despite a history of volatility. The company's dividends have been unreliable over the past decade but have shown growth during this period. Recent earnings for the half-year ended September 2024 reported sales at €153.03 million and net income rising to €15.76 million, suggesting potential financial stability that could support future dividends.

PharmaSGP Holding's dividend sustainability is supported by an 86.8% payout ratio from earnings and a 57% cash payout ratio. Although its dividends have grown, they have been paid for only three years, indicating limited historical reliability. The company trades at 64.1% below estimated fair value, offering potential investment appeal despite high debt levels. Recent earnings growth, with sales of €88.58 million and net income of €14.05 million for the nine months ended September 2024, suggests financial strength to maintain dividends.
