Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste S. A. B. de C. V (BMV:ASUR B)

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

Overview: Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S. A. B. de C. V operates airports primarily in Mexico and has a market cap of MX$173 billion.

Operations: Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste, S. A. B. de C. V's revenue primarily comes from its operations in Cancun (MX$17.17 billion), San Juan, Puerto Rico (MX$4.50 billion), Colombia (MX$3.12 billion), Merida (MX$1.41 billion), and Villahermosa (MX$599 million).

Dividend Yield: 3.6%

Grupo Aeroportuario del Sureste S.A.B. de C.V. offers a mixed dividend profile. Despite a reasonable cash payout ratio of 54.9%, its dividend yield of 3.63% falls short compared to the top Mexican market payers at 6.17%. While dividends are covered by earnings and cash flows, their reliability is questionable due to volatility over the past decade. Recent announcements show steady passenger traffic growth, which might support future stability in payouts amidst an improving earnings landscape.

Despite this, dividends have been volatile over the past decade, though they have increased overall.
