Nitto Kogyo (TSE:6651)

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

Overview: Nitto Kogyo Corporation manufactures and sells electric and mechanical equipment worldwide, with a market cap of ¥108.95 billion.

Operations: Nitto Kogyo Corporation generates revenue through its Electronic Parts Related Manufacturing Business at ¥14.32 billion, Electricity / Information Infrastructure Related Distribution Business at ¥52.16 billion, and Electrical and Information Infrastructure Related Manufacturing, Construction and Service Business at ¥108.18 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.5%

Nitto Kogyo's dividend yield of 4.54% is among the top 25% in Japan, but it faces challenges as dividends are not covered by free cash flows and have been volatile over the past decade. Recent guidance indicates a significant reduction in dividends for fiscal year ending March 2025, from JPY 158 to JPY 68 per share. Despite trading below estimated fair value, the sustainability of its dividend remains questionable due to insufficient earnings coverage.
