ABN AMRO Bank (ENXTAM:ABN)

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

Overview: ABN AMRO Bank N.V. offers a range of banking products and financial services to retail, private, and business clients both in the Netherlands and globally, with a market capitalization of approximately €13.77 billion.

Operations: ABN AMRO Bank N.V. generates revenue primarily through its Personal & Business Banking (€4.07 billion), Corporate Banking (€3.50 billion), and Wealth Management (€1.59 billion) segments.

Dividend Yield: 9.1%

ABN AMRO Bank's dividend sustainability is underpinned by a payout ratio of 47.9%, indicating dividends are well covered by earnings, though the bank's dividend history over the past eight years shows volatility and unreliability in payments. Despite trading at 60.2% below estimated fair value, suggesting attractiveness relative to intrinsic value, forecasted earnings decline at an average of 11.3% annually over the next three years could pressure future dividend sustainability. Recent strategic moves, including a fixed-income offering raising €747.225 million and expansions into Germany’s wealth management sector, highlight active efforts to diversify and strengthen operations which may influence future profitability and dividend capability.

Acomo (ENXTAM:ACOMO)

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

Overview: Acomo N.V. operates in sourcing, trading, processing, packaging, and distributing food ingredients for the food and beverage industry across the Netherlands, Europe, North America, and internationally with a market capitalization of approximately €0.52 billion.

Operations: Acomo N.V. specializes in the global provision of both conventional and organic food ingredients, catering to the food and beverage sector.

Dividend Yield: 6.6%

Acomo N.V. reported slightly increased sales of €668.2 million for the first half of 2024 but saw a decline in net income to €17.94 million, impacting basic earnings per share which dropped to €0.61 from €0.75 year-over-year. Despite a high dividend yield of 6.61%, Acomo's dividends have shown volatility over the past decade and are currently poorly covered by earnings with a high payout ratio of 95.7%. However, cash flows cover the dividends better, evidenced by a more moderate cash payout ratio of 51%. The company trades at a P/E ratio of 14.5x, below the Dutch market average.

Van Lanschot Kempen (ENXTAM:VLK)

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

Overview: Van Lanschot Kempen NV is a financial services provider operating both in the Netherlands and internationally, with a market capitalization of approximately €1.70 billion.

Operations: Van Lanschot Kempen NV generates revenue from its Investment Banking Clients and Wholesale & Institutional Clients segments, totaling approximately €41 million and €83.10 million respectively.

Dividend Yield: 9.9%

Van Lanschot Kempen, despite a short history of dividend payments, offers a reliable yield with dividends covered by earnings at 70.9%, projected to increase to 84.6% coverage in three years. The firm's recent share buyback of €22.66 million underscores its commitment to shareholder returns. With earnings growth of 81.8% last year and expected annual growth of 8.29%, coupled with a low Price-to-Earnings ratio at 13x—below the Dutch market average—the stock presents an appealing value though it lacks long-term dividend consistency.
