Topy Industries (TSE:7231)

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

Overview: Topy Industries, Limited operates in the steel, automotive, and industrial machinery components sectors in Japan with a market cap of ¥45.73 billion.

Dividend Yield: 5.1%

Topy Industries maintained its dividend at JPY 30.00 per share, though earnings coverage remains inadequate with a high payout ratio of 115.1%. Despite a top-tier yield of 5.15% in Japan, the dividend's reliability is questionable due to historical volatility and profit margin declines from 2.2% to 0.6%. However, dividends are well covered by cash flows given a low cash payout ratio of 18.9%, although recent guidance revisions reflect challenges in sales and profitability expectations for the fiscal year ending March 2025.
