Mitsubishi Shokuhin (TSE:7451)

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

Overview: Mitsubishi Shokuhin Co., Ltd. is involved in the wholesale distribution of processed foods, frozen and chilled foods, alcoholic beverages, and confectioneries both in Japan and internationally, with a market cap of ¥216.87 billion.

Operations: Mitsubishi Shokuhin Co., Ltd.'s revenue segments include processed foods, frozen and chilled foods, alcoholic beverages, and confectioneries.

Dividend Yield: 3.8%

Mitsubishi Shokuhin's dividend stability is notable, with consistent growth over the past decade. However, its 3.8% yield is slightly below top-tier payers in Japan and isn't supported by free cash flow, raising sustainability concerns despite a low payout ratio of 33.5%. The stock trades at a favorable P/E ratio of 9.9x compared to the JP market average of 13.1x, suggesting good relative value but highlighting potential risks in dividend coverage from earnings alone.
