Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: TOA Corporation, with a market cap of ¥195.09 billion, provides construction and engineering services in Japan.

Dividend Yield: 3.1%
TOA Corporation's dividend payments are well covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 37.7% and 48.3%, respectively. However, its dividend history is marked by volatility, with significant annual drops in the past decade, making it less reliable for consistent income seekers.

Tohokushinsha Film (TSE:2329)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Tohokushinsha Film Corporation operates as a media business company in Japan, with a market cap of ¥88.22 billion.
Operations: Tohokushinsha Film Corporation generates its revenue from various segments within the media industry in Japan.
Dividend Yield: 4.2%
Tohokushinsha Film's dividend yield of 4.22% ranks in the top quarter of Japan's market, yet its dividends have been volatile over the past decade with significant drops. Despite a low payout ratio of 19.8%, suggesting earnings coverage, dividends are not supported by free cash flows and have been unreliable historically. The company's price-to-earnings ratio of 9.5x indicates good value relative to the market average, but large one-off items affect earnings quality.
- Take a closer look at Tohokushinsha Film's potential here in our dividend report.
- In light of our recent valuation report, it seems possible that Tohokushinsha Film is trading beyond its estimated value.
KYB (TSE:7242)

Dividend Yield: 3.4%
KYB's dividend yield of 3.44% is below the top tier in Japan, and its dividend history has been volatile, with payments not consistently growing over the past decade. However, dividends are well covered by both earnings (payout ratio of 13.6%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio of 29.6%). The company's recent share buyback program indicates a focus on returning value to shareholders despite forecasted earnings declines and a highly volatile share price recently.
