Dividend Yield: 6.7%

Acomo's dividend payments have increased over the past 10 years but have been unreliable and volatile. The current dividend yield of 6.66% places it in the top 25% of Dutch market payers, yet it's not well covered by earnings with a high payout ratio of 95.7%. Despite a reasonable cash payout ratio (51%), recent financials show declining net income (€17.94 million) and EPS (€0.61), raising concerns about sustainability given its high debt level.
