MegaStudyEdu (KOSDAQ:A215200)

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

Overview: MegaStudyEdu Co. Ltd. offers online and offline educational services mainly in South Korea, with a market cap of approximately ₩413.45 billion.

Operations: MegaStudyEdu Co. Ltd.'s revenue is primarily derived from its High School segment at ₩584.07 billion, followed by Elementary and Middle School at ₩214.70 billion, University at ₩81.15 billion, and Employment services contributing ₩56.81 billion.

Dividend Yield: 5.1%

MegaStudyEdu offers a compelling dividend profile with a 5.1% yield, placing it in the top 25% of Korean dividend payers. Dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 28% and 17.6%, respectively. Despite this, its six-year dividend history has been unreliable and volatile, experiencing annual drops over 20%. Recent buyback activity completed in January reflects strategic capital management but doesn't directly impact dividends' stability or growth potential.

Bangkok Airways (SET:BA)

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

Overview: Bangkok Airways Public Company Limited, along with its subsidiaries, offers air transportation and airport services, with a market cap of THB37.80 billion.

Operations: Bangkok Airways generates revenue from several segments, including Airlines (THB17.87 billion), Supporting Airlines Business (THB5.07 billion), and Airports (THB0.51 billion).

Dividend Yield: 6.2%

Bangkok Airways' dividend yield of 6.19% is below the top 25% in Thailand, and its payments have been volatile over the past decade, with a payout ratio of 79.4%. Despite this instability, dividends are covered by earnings and cash flows, with a lower cash payout ratio of 50%. Trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value suggests potential capital appreciation but doesn't guarantee stable or growing dividends given historical unreliability.

Goodway Machine (TWSE:1583)

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

Overview: Goodway Machine Corp. manufactures and sells CNC lathes and processing machinery across Taiwan, Asia, the United States, Europe, and internationally with a market cap of NT$6.79 billion.

Operations: Goodway Machine Corp.'s revenue segments consist of NT$2.51 billion from CNC lathes and NT$2.54 billion from the Processing Machine Department.

Dividend Yield: 6.5%

Goodway Machine's dividend yield of 6.45% ranks in the top 25% of Taiwan's market, but payments have been volatile over the past decade. The payout ratio is 76.3%, indicating coverage by earnings, yet a high cash payout ratio of 941.8% suggests poor coverage by cash flows. Despite a favorable price-to-earnings ratio of 11.8x compared to the market average, historical instability and large one-off items challenge dividend sustainability and reliability.
