Operations: Exacompta Clairefontaine S.A.’s revenue is primarily derived from its Paper segment, generating €357.12 million, and its Conversion segment, contributing €601.22 million.
Dividend Yield: 4.8%
Exacompta Clairefontaine offers a stable dividend profile with consistent growth over the past decade. Its dividends are reliably paid and well-covered by earnings, indicated by a low payout ratio of 35.4%. However, the dividend yield of 4.84% is below the top quartile in France’s market. Despite trading at 80.8% below estimated fair value, insufficient data limits analysis on coverage by cash flows, presenting both opportunities and risks for dividend-focused investors.
