YHI International (SGX:BPF)

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

Overview: YHI International Limited is an investment holding company that, along with its subsidiaries, distributes automotive and industrial products across Singapore, Malaysia, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Australia, New Zealand and internationally with a market cap of SGD145.86 million.

Operations: YHI International Limited generates revenue from several segments, including Distribution - ASEAN (SGD119.40 million), Distribution - Other (SGD33.31 million), Manufacturing - ASEAN (SGD55.05 million), Distribution - Oceania (SGD140.24 million), Distribution - North East Asia (SGD17.99 million), and Manufacturing - North East Asia excluding rental income (SGD57.20 million).

Dividend Yield: 6.3%

YHI International recently reported half-year sales of S$198.61 million, up from S$186.56 million the previous year, with net income rising slightly to S$7.71 million. Despite a volatile dividend history over the past decade, its current cash payout ratio of 43.3% suggests dividends are well-covered by cash flows, while a payout ratio of 68.9% indicates sustainability through earnings. The dividend yield is competitive within Singapore's market but lacks reliability in growth consistency.

Jardine Cycle & Carriage (SGX:C07)

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

Overview: Jardine Cycle & Carriage Limited is an investment holding company involved in financial services, heavy equipment, mining, construction and energy, agribusiness, infrastructure and logistics, information technology, and property sectors in Indonesia and internationally with a market cap of SGD11.10 billion.

Operations: Jardine Cycle & Carriage Limited generates revenue through its diverse operations in financial services, heavy equipment, mining, construction and energy, agribusiness, infrastructure and logistics, information technology, and property sectors.

Dividend Yield: 5.6%

Jardine Cycle & Carriage's recent interim dividend of US$0.28 per share reflects its commitment to shareholder returns, though its dividend history has been volatile over the past decade. Despite this instability, the company's dividends are well-covered by a cash payout ratio of 30.8% and an earnings payout ratio of 44.4%, suggesting sustainability. However, with a dividend yield lower than the top quartile in Singapore, investors may seek more consistent growth in payouts for long-term reliability.

Bumitama Agri (SGX:P8Z)

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

Overview: Bumitama Agri Ltd. is an investment holding company involved in the production and trade of crude palm oil, palm kernel, and related products for refineries in Indonesia, with a market cap of SGD1.35 billion.

Operations: Bumitama Agri Ltd. generates revenue primarily from its Plantations and Palm Oil Mills segment, which amounted to IDR15.55 trillion.

Dividend Yield: 6.1%

Bumitama Agri's dividend yield is among the top 25% in Singapore, yet its history reveals volatility and unreliability over the past decade. Despite a recent decrease in interim dividends to S$0.012 per share, payouts remain covered by earnings (47.2%) and cash flows (54.8%). The company's recent earnings report showed a decline in net income compared to last year, which may influence future dividend stability despite currently trading below estimated fair value.
