Toa Road (TSE:1882)

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

Overview: Toa Road Corporation operates in the civil engineering sector in Japan with a market capitalization of ¥66.69 billion.

Operations: Toa Road Corporation generates revenue primarily from its Construction Business, contributing ¥75.09 billion, and its Manufacturing and Sales, Environmental Business, Etc., segment, which adds ¥51.11 billion.

Dividend Yield: 5.9%

Toa Road's dividend yield of 5.9% places it among the top 25% in Japan, although it's not well-covered by free cash flows. However, the company's payout ratio of 38.6% suggests dividends are secure from earnings, supported by a decade-long stable and growing dividend history. Despite no free cash flow coverage, recent earnings growth of 36.7% could bolster future payouts if sustained, yet investors should be cautious about current sustainability issues.
