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

Overview: Samse SA, operating in France, specializes in distributing building materials and tools with a market capitalization of approximately €0.56 billion.

Dividend Yield: 6.1%

Samse has a dividend yield of 6.08%, ranking in the top 25% in France, supported by a low payout ratio of 44.8% and cash payout ratio of 36.8%. Despite this, dividends have shown volatility over the past decade without consistent growth, posing risks for stability-minded investors. Trading at a P/E ratio of 7.4x—below the French market average—Samse offers value but with caution due to its unstable dividend history and modest earnings growth forecast at 4.03% annually.
