Operations: Maytronics Ltd. generates revenue primarily through the sale of safety products and related pool products (₪315.69 million), the manufacture of robots for cleaning public pools (₪102.66 million), and the manufacture of robots for cleaning private pools (₪1.40 billion).

Maytronics Ltd. recently adjusted its 2024 revenue and gross margin forecasts due to underperforming Q1 results, with revenues potentially decreasing by up to 2% or increasing by up to 4%, and gross margins expected between 40% and 41%. Despite a low dividend yield of 4.37% compared to the market's top dividend payers at 6.62%, Maytronics' dividends are reasonably covered by earnings with a payout ratio of 74.1%. However, the company's dividend history has been marked by volatility over the past decade, reflecting an unstable track record in consistent payments, further compounded by a highly volatile share price in recent months.
