BRC Asia (SGX:BEC)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: BRC Asia Limited operates in the prefabrication of steel reinforcement for concrete, serving markets including Singapore, Australia, Brunei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, India and more globally; it has a market capitalization of approximately SGD 655.70 million.
Operations: BRC Asia Limited generates revenue primarily through two segments: Trading, which brought in SGD 319.71 million, and Fabrication and Manufacturing, which contributed SGD 1.35 billion.
Dividend Yield: 6.7%
BRC Asia Limited, trading significantly below its estimated fair value, has shown a promising earnings growth of 14.9% over the past year with forecasts predicting further annual growth of around 4.03%. Despite its attractive dividend yield of 6.69%, which ranks in the top quartile in Singapore's market, the company's dividend history has been marked by volatility and unreliability over the past decade. However, dividends are currently well-supported by both earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios at 35.9% and 85.3%, respectively. Recent announcements include a planned interim dividend payment of SGD 0.06 per share to be distributed in November 2024 following a solid half-year performance with net income rising to SGD 38.53 million from SGD 26.24 million year-over-year.

Civmec (SGX:P9D)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Civmec Limited, an investment holding company based in Australia, offers construction and engineering services to sectors including energy, resources, infrastructure, and marine and defense, with a market capitalization of approximately SGD 464.45 million.
Operations: Civmec Limited generates revenue from three primary segments: Energy (A$46.02 million), Resources (A$752.82 million), and Infrastructure, Marine & Defence (A$105.52 million).
Dividend Yield: 5.4%
Civmec, while not leading in Singapore's dividend yield at 5.4%, maintains a sustainable payout with its earnings and cash flows covering dividends at 45.4% and 27% respectively. Its earnings have surged by 37.3% annually over the past five years, with a modest growth forecast of 3.88% per year ahead. Dividend reliability is underscored by a decade of stable payments and recent growth in dividends, alongside robust contract awards totaling A$174 million bolstering its operational strength.

- In light of our recent valuation report, it seems possible that Civmec is trading behind its estimated value.
UOB-Kay Hian Holdings (SGX:U10)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆

Operations: UOB-Kay Hian Holdings Limited generates revenue primarily through securities and futures broking and related services, amounting to SGD 539.01 million.
Dividend Yield: 6.7%
UOB-Kay Hian Holdings recently declared a dividend of S$0.092 per share, reflecting a stable payout with a low payout ratio of 48.2% and an even lower cash payout ratio of 22.7%, indicating strong coverage by both earnings and cash flows. Despite significant insider selling and historical volatility in dividend payments, the firm's recent earnings growth of 67.2% supports the sustainability of its dividends.
