Top Pick

Acomo (ENXTAM:ACOMO)

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

Overview: Acomo N.V. operates in sourcing, trading, processing, packaging, and distributing conventional and organic food ingredients for the food and beverage industry across Europe, North America, and other international markets, with a market capitalization of approximately €510.02 million.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily generated from Edible Seeds (€257.29 million), Spices and Nuts (€429.96 million), Organic Ingredients (€436.38 million), Tea (€120.62 million), and Food Solutions (€24.07 million).

Dividend Yield: 6.7%

ACOMO's dividend profile shows a blend of strengths and areas for caution. Over the past decade, dividends have seen growth, yet their trajectory has been marked by volatility, reflecting some instability. Currently, ACOMo maintains a payout ratio of 85.7%, ensuring dividends are well-covered by earnings. Notably, its cash payout ratio stands at 26.1%, indicating robust coverage by cash flows compared to companies with unsustainable high ratios, positioning it favorably in terms of dividend safety amidst market peers trading at significant discounts to their fair value estimates.

One To Reconsider

JDE Peet's (ENXTAM:JDEP)

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

Overview: JDE Peet's N.V. operates globally, offering a diverse range of coffee and tea products, with a market capitalization of approximately €9.04 billion.

Operations: The company's revenue is primarily derived from its Europe (including Out-of-Home) segment at €4.72 billion, followed by CPG LARMEA at €1.50 billion, Peet's contributing €1.15 billion, and CPG APAC generating €0.79 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.8%

JDE Peet's dividend sustainability is questionable due to its high payout ratio of 92.6%, indicating that dividends are not well-covered by earnings. Despite a stable history of dividend payments, the company has been distributing dividends for less than 10 years with no growth in payouts during this period. Additionally, its profit margins have declined from 9.5% to 4.5% over the past year, further stressing financial health and undermining the reliability of future dividend payments.
