Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: KPX Chemical Co., Ltd. is a South Korean company that manufactures and sells organic chemicals and chemical products, with a market cap of approximately ₩206.85 billion.
Operations: KPX Chemical Co., Ltd. generates its revenue primarily from the Specialty Chemicals segment, amounting to approximately ₩905.39 million.
Dividend Yield: 8%
KPX Chemical Ltd. offers a high dividend yield of 8.05%, placing it in the top 25% of dividend payers in South Korea, with dividends well covered by earnings (payout ratio: 26.7%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio: 29.4%). However, its dividend history is less than ten years old and has been volatile, with significant drops over time, raising concerns about reliability despite recent earnings growth of 24.4%.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Ework Group AB (publ) offers total talent solutions specializing in IT/OT, R&D, engineering, and business development across several European countries, with a market cap of SEK2.54 billion.
Operations: Ework Group AB (publ) generates revenue through its provision of comprehensive talent solutions focused on IT/OT, R&D, engineering, and business development across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Slovakia, Belgium, and Poland.
Dividend Yield: 4.8%
Ework Group’s dividend yield of 4.78% ranks in the top 25% of Swedish dividend payers, but its sustainability is questionable due to a high payout ratio of 91.9%, not fully covered by earnings. Despite increasing dividends over the past decade, payments have been volatile and unreliable. Recent agreements with Svenska kraftnat and the Swedish Police Authority could enhance revenue prospects, yet geographical expansion into Belgium may impact cash flow stability needed for consistent dividends.
