Zignago Vetro (BIT:ZV)

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

Overview: Zignago Vetro S.p.A. and its subsidiaries produce, market, and sell hollow glass containers in Italy, Europe, and internationally, with a market cap of €873.27 million.

Operations: Zignago Vetro's revenue segments include €19.39 million from Vetro Revet Srl, €334.19 million from Zignago Vetro SpA, €67.66 million from Zignago Vetro Brosse SAS, and €87.80 million from Zignago Vetro Polska S.A., after accounting for a segment adjustment of -€53.22 million.

Dividend Yield: 7.4%

Zignago Vetro offers a stable dividend history with consistent increases over the past decade, placing its yield in the top 25% of Italian dividend payers. However, recent earnings have declined significantly, with net income for Q3 2024 at €5.96 million compared to €20.98 million a year prior, raising concerns about sustainability. The high payout ratios (cash: 109%, earnings: 112.4%) indicate dividends are not well covered by cash flows or earnings, highlighting potential risks for investors seeking reliable income streams.

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

Overview: Tokyo Kiraboshi Financial Group, Inc. offers financial services to small and medium-sized enterprises in Japan, with a market cap of ¥144.21 billion.

Operations: Tokyo Kiraboshi Financial Group, Inc. generates revenue through its primary segments of Banking, which contributes ¥107.90 billion, and Leasing Business, which adds ¥14.82 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.1%

Tokyo Kiraboshi Financial Group provides a reliable dividend, having shown stability and growth over the past decade. The current yield of 3.14% is below Japan's top-tier dividend payers, yet its low payout ratio of 18.9% suggests dividends are well covered by earnings.
