Home Product Center (SET:HMPRO)

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

Overview: Home Product Center Public Company Limited operates as a home improvement retailer in Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam with a market cap of THB114.42 billion.

Operations: Home Product Center Public Company Limited generates revenue primarily from its retail segment focused on building products, amounting to THB72.47 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.6%

Home Product Center's dividend payments have been unreliable and volatile over the past decade, with a history of significant annual drops. Despite this, dividends are currently covered by both earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 81.7% and 85.9%, respectively. However, its dividend yield is lower than the top quartile in Thailand's market. Recent delisting from OTC Equity due to inactivity may also impact investor sentiment regarding its stability as a dividend stock.

• Take a closer look at Home Product Center's potential here in our dividend report.
• The valuation report we've compiled suggests that Home Product Center's current price could be quite moderate.

Zeon (TSE:4205)

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

Overview: Zeon Corporation operates in the elastomers and specialty materials sectors, with a market cap of ¥301.03 billion.

Operations: Zeon Corporation generates revenue from its Elastomer Materials Business, which accounts for ¥234.06 billion, and its High-Performance Materials Business, contributing ¥118.43 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.6%

Zeon's dividend yield of 4.6% ranks in the top 25% of Japan's market, with dividends growing steadily over the past decade. However, the dividend is not covered by free cash flows despite a low payout ratio of 41.3%. Recent share buybacks totaling ¥19.99 billion indicate strong capital management but do not address concerns about dividend sustainability due to reliance on earnings rather than cash flows for coverage.

• The analysis detailed in our Zeon valuation report hints at an deflated share price compared to its estimated value.

Quanta Computer (TWSE:2382)

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

Overview: Quanta Computer Inc. is a global manufacturer and seller of notebook computers, with operations spanning Asia, the Americas, and Europe, and has a market cap of NT$1.04 trillion.

Operations: Quanta Computer Inc.'s revenue from the Electronics Sector amounts to NT$2.78 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.3%

Quanta Computer's dividend yield of 3.34% is below Taiwan's top 25% benchmark, and while dividends have grown steadily over the past decade, they are not well covered by free cash flows. The company trades at a significant discount to fair value and has seen earnings grow by 41% last year, yet its dividend sustainability remains questionable due to reliance on non-cash earnings. Recent private placements raised TWD 482 million, potentially impacting future financial strategies.
