Dividend Yield: 4.8%

Caisse Régionale de Crédit Agricole Mutuel de la Touraine et du Poitou Société Coopérative (CRTO) offers a reliable dividend yield of 4.75%, though it is lower than the top 25% of French dividend payers. The company's dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, supported by a low payout ratio of 17.9%. However, insufficient data makes it challenging to predict future dividend sustainability or coverage by earnings in three years.

Électricite de Strasbourg Société Anonyme (ENXTPA:ELEC)

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

Overview: Électricite de Strasbourg Société Anonyme supplies electricity and natural gas to individuals, businesses, and local authorities in France, with a market cap of €774.29 million.

Operations: Électricite de Strasbourg Société Anonyme generates revenue primarily from its electricity distribution segment (€288.95 million) and the production and distribution of electricity and gas (€1.40 billion).

Dividend Yield: 8%

Électricite de Strasbourg Société Anonyme offers a high dividend yield of 7.96%, placing it in the top 25% of French dividend payers. However, its dividends are not well covered by free cash flows or earnings, raising concerns about sustainability. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 66%, the company's dividend payments have been volatile over the past decade, and recent earnings growth of 69.9% may not fully mitigate these risks.
