Dividend Coverage at Risk Despite 9.11% Yield

• Maytronics’ dividend yield stands at 9.11%, but financial data shows that these payouts are not covered by earnings. The company reported a net loss of 111.66 million ILS over the last twelve months.
• What stands out in the prevailing market view is that such a high yield is typically seen as attractive. However,
  • the trend of rising losses, highlighted by the sequential decline in Basic EPS from 0.11 ILS in Q2 to -0.37 ILS in Q3 2025, significantly undermines dividend sustainability,
  • and insufficient operating cash flow coverage of debt raises the risk that future payouts may face reductions or suspension.

Net Losses Deepen and Unprofitability Spreads

• Trailing twelve-month net income has slipped to -111.66 million ILS, with the net loss worsening by more than 70 million ILS since Q2 2025, when it stood at -90.78 million ILS.
• Digging into the prevailing analysis reveals that:
  • earnings are in a persistent decline, falling at a rate of 29.8% per year over five years, which heavily challenges any notion of rapid turnaround,
  • and, with no improvement in net margins shown over recent quarters, market observers point to deepening unprofitability as the central risk for potential investors.

Valuation Looks Cheap on Sales, Not on Profits

• The company’s price-to-sales ratio of 0.3x is well below both the Asian Consumer Durables industry average (1.2x) and its peer average (2.1x). However, the share price of 4.51 ILS still trades well above the DCF fair value of 97.03 ILS, indicating conflicting signals depending on the lens used.
• Despite appearing undervalued from a revenue perspective,
  • the ongoing earnings losses directly challenge the view that a low price-to-sales ratio alone makes Maytronics a bargain,
  • and the market view cautions that without a clear path to profits or margin recovery, investors could be tempted by the relative value while missing real risks flagged by persistent unprofitability and weak dividend coverage.
