NEC Capital Solutions (TSE:8793)

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

Overview: NEC Capital Solutions Limited offers financial services in Japan and has a market cap of ¥82.50 billion.

Operations: NEC Capital Solutions Limited generates revenue through its Lease Business at ¥229.64 billion, Finance Business at ¥9.15 billion, and Investment Business at ¥11.99 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.9%

NEC Capital Solutions' dividend yield is among the top 25% in Japan, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a lack of free cash flow coverage. Despite a low payout ratio of 35.6%, dividends have been unreliable and volatile over the past decade, with significant drops exceeding 20% annually. Recent earnings growth of 114.5% might offer some optimism, but investors should remain cautious about ongoing dividend stability amidst recent corporate restructuring events like SBI Shinsei Bank's acquisition.
