As global markets navigate the uncertainties surrounding the incoming Trump administration's policies, investors are witnessing a mixed performance across various sectors. With U.S. stocks giving back some gains and inflation data influencing interest rate expectations, dividend stocks continue to attract attention for their potential to provide steady income amid market volatility. In this environment, a good dividend stock is often characterized by its ability to maintain consistent payouts and demonstrate resilience against economic shifts, making it an appealing option for those seeking stability in turbulent times.

Dividend Yield: 5.8%

S & J International Enterprises has maintained stable and growing dividends over the past decade, though its current payout ratio of 86.2% suggests coverage by earnings is tight. The dividend yield of 5.77% is below the top quartile in Thailand, and high cash payout ratio (172.4%) indicates poor coverage by free cash flows. Recent earnings show a significant decline in net income, with Q3 figures at THB 48.38 million compared to THB 174.4 million last year, potentially impacting future payouts.

Dividend Yield: 8.2%

Thai Steel Cable's dividend yield of 8.16% ranks in the top 25% of Thai market payers, yet its sustainability is questionable given a high payout ratio of 97.8%, indicating poor earnings coverage. Although dividends have increased over the past decade, they remain volatile with significant annual drops. Despite trading significantly below estimated fair value and reasonable cash flow coverage (74.6%), recent executive changes might introduce uncertainty in financial management stability.
