DMG Mori's dividend payments, though in the top 25% of JP market payers at 3.86%, face sustainability challenges due to a high cash payout ratio of 1827.1%. Despite increasing dividends over the past decade, their reliability remains questionable with historical volatility and coverage issues by earnings and free cash flows.

Dividend Yield: 3.1%

Itoki's dividend of 3.14% is not fully covered by free cash flows, raising sustainability concerns despite stable and reliable payments over the past decade. The company announced a dividend increase from JPY 42 to JPY 55 per share for fiscal year 2024, with guidance suggesting further growth to JPY 65 in 2025. While earnings grew by 21.6% last year and are expected to rise annually by 11.44%, high non-cash earnings could affect quality perceptions.
