DIP (TSE:2379)

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

Overview: DIP Corporation, with a market cap of ¥124.97 billion, is a labor force solution company that offers personnel recruiting services in Japan.

Operations: DIP Corporation generates revenue through its DX Business, which accounts for ¥6.63 billion, and its Human Resources Services Business, contributing ¥49.55 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4%

DIP Corporation's dividend payments are well-supported by a low cash payout ratio of 46.2% and an earnings payout ratio of 53.4%, indicating strong coverage by cash flows and earnings. Despite this, the company's dividend history is less stable, with significant volatility over its seven-year payment period, including annual drops exceeding 20%. However, DIP trades at a good value compared to peers and industry benchmarks and offers a competitive dividend yield in the top quartile of the JP market.

Yuasa Trading (TSE:8074)

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

Overview: Yuasa Trading Co., Ltd. operates in the lifestyle and industry support sectors in Japan and has a market cap of ¥91.29 billion.

Operations: Yuasa Trading Co., Ltd.'s revenue segments include Energy (¥18.66 billion), Industrial Equipment (¥94.56 billion), Construction Machines (¥43.03 billion), Building Supplies & Exterior (¥61.20 billion), Industrial Machinery Division (¥114.83 billion), and Housing, Air & Fluidic Control Systems (¥218.43 billion).

Dividend Yield: 3.9%

Yuasa Trading's dividend yield of 3.87% places it in the top 25% of JP market payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 99.9%. Despite a low earnings payout ratio of 39.2%, dividends are not well-covered by free cash flow, and recent reductions from JPY 86 to JPY 72 per share highlight volatility concerns. The stock trades at a favorable P/E ratio of 10.1x compared to the market average, offering potential value amidst these challenges.

Selena FM's dividend yield of 4.76% is lower than the top 25% in the Polish market.

The recent earnings report shows a decline in quarterly net income to PLN 24.93 million from PLN 54.89 million, potentially impacting future dividends despite stable nine-month results.
