Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: BPER Banca SpA offers a range of banking products and services to individuals, businesses, and professionals in Italy and internationally, with a market cap of €20.81 billion.
Operations: BPER Banca SpA generates revenue through its diverse offerings of banking products and services tailored for individuals, businesses, and professionals both within Italy and on an international scale.
Dividend Yield: 5.7%
BPER Banca's dividend yield of 5.66% ranks in the top 25% of Italian dividend payers, supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 60.6%. However, its dividend track record is unstable with past volatility and shareholder dilution. Despite trading below estimated fair value, high non-performing loans at 2.1% pose risks. Recent earnings growth and a share buyback program may signal potential stability improvements for dividends, but historical unreliability remains a concern for investors seeking consistent income streams.

- Our comprehensive valuation report raises the possibility that BPER Banca is priced lower than what may be justified by its financials.
