IVF Hartmann Holding’s dividend payments have been volatile over the past decade, yet recent increases suggest a positive trend. The company’s payout ratio of 37.8% indicates dividends are well covered by earnings, while a cash payout ratio of 82.9% shows coverage by cash flows. With a dividend yield of 4.13%, it ranks in the top 25% among Swiss dividend payers. Recent financial results show strong growth, with net income rising to CHF 20.3 million from CHF 15.15 million year-over-year, supporting its latest annual dividend increase to CHF 3.20 per share.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Wawel S.A. is a Polish company that produces and sells cocoa, chocolate, and confectionery products with a market cap of PLN865.54 million.
Operations: Wawel S.A. generates its revenue primarily from the production and sale of confectionery products, amounting to PLN672.94 million.
Dividend Yield: 5.2%
Wawel’s dividend payments have been volatile over the past decade, despite a 10-year growth trend. The payout ratio of 63.9% and a cash payout ratio of 58.4% indicate dividends are covered by earnings and cash flows, respectively. However, its dividend yield of 5.22% is lower than the top quartile in Poland’s market (7.7%). Trading at 47.7% below estimated fair value suggests potential for capital appreciation alongside dividends, though reliability remains a concern.
