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

Operations: New Era Electronics Co., Ltd generates revenue through its operations in the design, manufacture, assembly, and sale of printed circuit boards (PCBs) across domestic and international markets.

Dividend Yield: 13.9%

New Era Electronics faces challenges for dividend investors, with volatile and unreliable dividend payments over the past decade. Despite a high yield of 13.87%, dividends are not well covered by earnings due to a high payout ratio of 2553%. While cash flows reasonably cover dividends, recent financial performance shows significant declines in sales and net income, raising concerns about sustainability. The stock trades significantly below its estimated fair value, suggesting potential valuation appeal amidst these risks.

Dividend Yield: 4.3%

TOBISHIMA HOLDINGS offers a stable dividend profile, with consistent growth over the past decade and a yield of 4.28%, placing it in the top 25% of Japanese dividend payers. However, dividends are not covered by free cash flows and debt coverage by operating cash flow is weak. Despite these concerns, the payout ratio remains low at 37.8%, indicating coverage by earnings. The stock's P/E ratio of 9.8x suggests potential value compared to the market average.
