Heidelberg Materials
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Heidelberg Materials AG operates globally, producing and distributing cement, aggregates, ready-mixed concrete, and asphalt, with a market capitalization of approximately €17.15 billion.
Operations: Heidelberg Materials AG generates €11.21 billion from cement, €4.88 billion from aggregates, and €5.90 billion from ready-mixed concrete and asphalt.
Dividend Yield: 3.2%
Heidelberg Materials has a history of unstable dividends, with payments fluctuating significantly over the past decade. Despite this, the dividends are supported by a low payout ratio of 27.3% from earnings and 29% from cash flows, indicating sustainability from current financials. However, its dividend yield at 3.17% is below the German market's top quartile average of 4.71%. Recently, Heidelberg announced a dividend increase to €3 per share and initiated a substantial share buyback program valued at up to €1.2 billion through 2026, reflecting confidence in financial stability and commitment to returning value to shareholders.
INDUS Holding
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: INDUS Holding AG is a private equity firm focused on mergers, acquisitions, and corporate spin-offs, with a market capitalization of approximately €0.69 billion.
Operations: INDUS Holding AG generates its revenue primarily through three segments: Materials (€601.79 million), Engineering (€588.82 million), and Infrastructure (€572.78 million).
Dividend Yield: 4.7%
INDUS Holding AG's recent earnings reveal a downturn, with sales and net income decreasing from the previous year. Despite this, the company maintains a low payout ratio of 47% and a cash payout ratio of 21%, suggesting that its dividends are sustainably covered by both earnings and cash flows. However, dividend reliability is questionable due to historical volatility over the last decade. Trading at significant undervaluation relative to fair value estimates may offer an attractive entry point for investors considering long-term potential.
Wacker Neuson
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Wacker Neuson SE is a company that manufactures and distributes light and compact equipment across Germany, Austria, the United States, and other international markets, with a market capitalization of approximately €1.07 billion.
Operations: Wacker Neuson SE generates revenue through its Services segment (€490 million), Light Equipment segment (€500.70 million), and Compact Equipment segment (€1.61 billion).
Dividend Yield: 7.3%
Wacker Neuson SE, despite offering a high dividend yield of 7.32%, faces challenges with its dividend sustainability as it is not well covered by earnings or cash flows. The company's dividends have shown volatility and unreliability over the past decade, with significant annual fluctuations. Although trading at a 41.1% discount to its fair value and comparatively good value against industry peers, recent financials indicate a downturn, with Q1 sales and net income significantly lower than the previous year, impacting future dividend stability.
