Telekom Austria (WBAG:TKA)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Telekom Austria AG, with a market cap of €5.78 billion, offers fixed-line and mobile communications solutions across Austria and several Eastern European countries including Belarus, Bulgaria, Croatia, North Macedonia, Serbia, and Slovenia.
Operations: Telekom Austria AG generates its revenue primarily from Wireless Communications Services, which amounted to €5.32 billion.
Dividend Yield: 4.6%
Telekom Austria's dividend stability and growth over the past decade, with a proposed 11% increase to €0.40 per share, indicate a commitment to rewarding shareholders. While its 4.59% yield is below top-tier Austrian payers, dividends are well-covered by earnings (42.4% payout ratio) and cash flows (28.7%). Recent financials show stable revenue growth and consistent earnings, supporting sustainable dividend payments despite trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value.

ING Bank Slaski (WSE:ING)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: ING Bank Slaski S.A. operates in Poland, offering a range of banking products and services to retail clients and businesses, with a market cap of PLN41.57 billion.
Operations: ING Bank Slaski S.A. generates revenue through its Retail Banking segment, which accounts for PLN4.74 billion, and its Corporate Banking segment, contributing PLN5.01 billion.
Dividend Yield: 7.9%
ING Bank Slaski's dividend yield ranks in the top 25% of Polish payers, although its track record is marked by volatility and recent decreases. Current dividends are covered by a 75% payout ratio, with future coverage expected to improve slightly. Despite earnings forecasted to decline, revenue growth is anticipated at 6.75% annually. However, high bad loans (3.4%) and low allowance (66%) pose risks to financial stability and dividend reliability. Recent earnings show modest income growth year-on-year.

EnviTec Biogas (XTRA:ETG)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: EnviTec Biogas AG manufactures and operates biogas and biomethane plants across various countries, with a market cap of €458.87 million.
Operations: EnviTec Biogas AG generates revenue through the manufacturing and operation of biogas and biomethane plants in multiple international markets, including Germany, Italy, Great Britain, the Czech Republic, France, Denmark, the United States, China, Greece, and Estonia.
Dividend Yield: 9.7%
EnviTec Biogas offers a high dividend yield, ranking in the top 25% of German dividend payers. However, its dividend history is marked by volatility and unreliability over the past decade, with significant annual drops. Currently, dividends are covered by a 76.2% payout ratio from earnings, though insufficient data prevents assessment of coverage by cash flows. Trading at €0.56 below estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation despite an unstable dividend track record.
