Chugai Ro (TSE:1964)

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

Overview: Chugai Ro Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries specialize in developing thermal technology solutions both in Japan and internationally, with a market cap of ¥19.38 billion.

Operations: Chugai Ro Co., Ltd.'s revenue is primarily derived from its Heat Treatment Furnace segment, which accounts for ¥14.83 billion, followed by the Plant segment at ¥10.77 billion and the Development segment contributing ¥2.12 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.4%

Chugai Ro's dividends have been reliable and growing over the past decade, with stable per-share payments. However, despite a low payout ratio of 24.1%, the dividend is not covered by free cash flows, raising sustainability concerns. The recent earnings growth of 84% suggests potential for future financial improvement. The current dividend yield of 3.43% is below the top tier in Japan but offers value with a price-to-earnings ratio of 8.7x compared to the market average of 13.3x.

Sun-Wa Technos' dividend yield of 4.61% ranks in the top 25% of Japanese dividend payers. Despite its low payout ratios—33.9% from earnings and 36.8% from cash flows—indicating good coverage, the company's dividends have been volatile over the past decade, with significant annual drops exceeding 20%. Trading at a substantial discount to its estimated fair value, Sun-Wa Technos offers potential value for investors mindful of its unstable dividend history.
