NIPPON PARKING DEVELOPMENTLtd (TSE:2353)

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

Overview: NIPPON PARKING DEVELOPMENT Co., Ltd. offers consulting services for parking lots in Japan and internationally, with a market cap of ¥70.20 billion.

Operations: NIPPON PARKING DEVELOPMENT Co., Ltd. generates revenue through its consulting services for parking facilities both domestically and abroad.

Dividend Yield: 3%

NIPPON PARKING DEVELOPMENT Ltd. has a stable and reliable dividend history, with payments growing over the past 10 years. However, its current dividend yield of 3% is lower than the top quartile of JP market payers (3.87%). Despite a low payout ratio of 38.3%, indicating earnings coverage, the high cash payout ratio (342.6%) raises concerns about sustainability from free cash flows. Recent earnings growth of 15.8% adds some positive context ahead of their fiscal year results on Sep 06, 2024.

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

Overview: Hanpin Electron Co., Ltd. designs, manufactures, and sells electronic consumer products, professional audio products, and professional DJ equipment in Taiwan, China, Hong Kong, and Singapore with a market cap of NT$4.21 billion.

Operations: Hanpin Electron Co., Ltd.'s revenue from the Audio Department is NT$2.63 billion.

Dividend Yield: 5.3%

Hanpin Electron's dividend payments have been volatile over the past 10 years, despite a recent increase approved in June 2024. Trading at 49.3% below estimated fair value, its dividends are well-covered by earnings (56.8%) and cash flows (37.1%). Earnings growth of 10.1% annually over the past five years supports future payouts, but the unstable dividend history warrants caution for income-focused investors ahead of Q2 results on Aug 05, 2024.

The company announced a share repurchase program worth TWD 5,432.37 million and affirmed dividends for H1 2024 despite volatile past payments and diluted shares over the last year.
