Let's dive into some prime choices out of the screener.

Aalberts (ENXTAM:AALB)

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

Overview: Aalberts N.V., with a market cap of €3.02 billion, provides mission-critical technologies for building, industry, and semiconductor markets across Europe, the United States, the Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Africa.

Operations: Aalberts N.V.'s revenue is derived from its Semicon segment (€467.10 million), Building Technology segment (€1.58 billion), and Industrial Technology segment (€1.06 billion).

Dividend Yield: 4%

Aalberts' dividend sustainability is supported by a payout ratio of 82.7% and a cash payout ratio of 70.2%, indicating coverage by both earnings and cash flows. However, its dividend yield of 4.04% falls short compared to top-tier Dutch payers, and the track record has been volatile with significant annual drops over the past decade. Recent exclusion from the FTSE All-World Index may impact investor sentiment despite trading below estimated fair value.

• Insights from our recent valuation report point to the potential undervaluation of Aalberts shares in the market.

TotalEnergies (ENXTPA:TTE)

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

Overview: TotalEnergies SE is a multi-energy company engaged in the production and marketing of oil, biofuels, natural gas, biogas, low-carbon hydrogen, renewables, and electricity across France, Europe, and globally with a market cap of €121.27 billion.

Operations: TotalEnergies SE generates revenue through several key segments, including Integrated LNG ($20.24 billion), Integrated Power ($22.60 billion), Marketing & Services ($61.47 billion), Refining & Chemicals ($114.52 billion), and Exploration & Production ($41.69 billion).

Dividend Yield: 6%

TotalEnergies' dividend is supported by a payout ratio of 57.8% and a cash payout ratio of 65.3%, ensuring coverage by earnings and cash flows, but its history shows volatility. The recent third interim dividend increase to €0.85/share indicates growth, yet past instability may concern investors seeking reliability. Despite trading significantly below estimated fair value, the stock's appeal as a top-tier French dividend payer is tempered by this inconsistency in payouts over the last decade.

PORR (WBAG:POS)

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

Overview: PORR AG is a construction company operating in Austria, Germany, Poland, the Czech Republic, Italy, Romania, Switzerland, Serbia, Great Britain, Slovakia, Norway and Belgium with a market cap of €1.05 billion.

Operations: PORR AG generates revenue from various segments, including €1.34 billion from Germany, €877.88 million from Poland, €719.73 million from Central and Eastern Europe (CEE), €2.88 billion from Austria and Switzerland (AT/CH), and €478.20 million from Infrastructure International.

Dividend Yield: 3.4%

PORR's dividend payments are well covered by earnings, with a payout ratio of 37.3% and cash flows at 21.6%, suggesting sustainability despite a history of volatility over the past decade. The stock trades significantly below its estimated fair value, offering potential value compared to peers. Recent inclusion in the Austria ATX Index and improved earnings results highlight positive momentum, though its dividend yield remains lower than top Austrian payers, which may affect attractiveness for yield-focused investors.
