Komercní banka (SEP:KOMB)

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

Overview: Komercní banka, a.s. is a financial institution offering retail, corporate, and investment banking services in the Czech Republic and Central and Eastern Europe, with a market cap of CZK170.25 billion.

Operations: Komercní banka's revenue segments include retail banking services at CZK 18.25 billion, corporate banking services at CZK 7.50 billion, and investment banking services at CZK 3.75 billion.

Dividend Yield: 8.8%

Komercní banka's dividend yield of 8.84% ranks in the top 25% of Czech market payers, but its reliability is questionable due to volatility and a high payout ratio of 98.8%, indicating dividends are not well covered by earnings. Although future coverage is projected to improve, past payments have been unstable with significant annual drops. The bank trades at nearly 20% below estimated fair value, yet its low allowance for bad loans may pose risks.

• Insights from our recent valuation report point to the potential undervaluation of Komercní banka shares in the market.

Nice (TSE:8089)

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

Overview: Nice Corporation imports, distributes, and sells building materials for housing in Japan and internationally, with a market cap of ¥17.38 billion.

Operations: Nice Corporation's revenue primarily comes from its Building Materials segment, which generated ¥173.16 billion, followed by the Housing segment with ¥49.07 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.4%

Nice Corporation's dividend yield of 4.44% places it among the top 25% of payers in the JP market, yet its reliability is compromised by volatility over the past decade. Despite a low payout ratio of 42.9%, dividends are not supported by free cash flows, raising sustainability concerns. Recent news highlights a dividend increase to JPY 25 per share for Q2 FY2025, up from JPY 20 last year, indicating some growth potential despite financial challenges.

Dividend Yield: 5.4%

Kedge Construction's dividend yield of 5.45% is among the top 25% in the TW market, but its track record shows volatility over the past decade. The payout ratio of 60.6% suggests dividends are covered by earnings, though cash flow coverage at an 88.5% payout ratio raises caution on sustainability. Recent earnings show increased quarterly net income to TWD 228.6 million, yet nine-month figures reflect a decline, indicating mixed financial stability for dividend continuity.
