Cembre (BIT:CMB)

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

Overview: Cembre S.p.A. manufactures and sells electrical connectors, cable accessories, and tools in Italy, Europe, and internationally with a market cap of €860.93 million.

Operations: Cembre S.p.A. generates revenue primarily from its Electric Connectors and Related Tools segment, amounting to €229.72 million.

Dividend Yield: 3.7%

Cembre's dividend payments have been stable and reliable over the past decade, with recent increases reflecting a commitment to shareholder returns. However, the current dividend yield of 3.67% is below Italy's top-tier payers and not well covered by free cash flows due to a high cash payout ratio of 190.2%. Despite earnings growth of 4.3% last year and a reasonable payout ratio of 74.2%, sustainability concerns remain due to limited coverage by earnings or cash flows.

Dividend Yield: 6.4%

CFM Indosuez Wealth Management's recent dividend announcement of €78 per share marks a decrease, highlighting its volatility over the past decade. Despite being in the top 25% for dividend yield in France at 6.4%, its track record remains unstable and unreliable. The company has a reasonable payout ratio of 70.8%, suggesting dividends are covered by earnings, yet the low allowance for bad loans (34%) indicates potential financial vulnerabilities.
