OVB Holding
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: OVB Holding AG operates in Europe, offering advisory and brokerage services to private households, with a market capitalization of approximately €0.28 billion.
Operations: OVB Holding AG generates its revenue primarily from insurance brokerage, with a total segment revenue of €368.28 million.
Dividend Yield: 4.6%
OVB Holding AG offers a modest dividend yield of 4.64%, slightly below the top quartile in Germany's dividend market at 4.74%. Despite a stable history of dividends over the last decade, current payouts are not well-supported by cash flows, with a high cash payout ratio of 107.3%. Earnings have shown growth, increasing by 20.5% over the past year and are expected to continue growing annually by 5.31%. However, dividends are currently not covered by earnings or free cash flow, indicating potential sustainability issues despite trading at a value perceived to be 17.1% below its fair value.
ProCredit Holding
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: ProCredit Holding AG operates as a commercial bank offering services primarily to small and medium enterprises and private customers across Europe, South America, and Germany, with a market capitalization of approximately €0.53 billion.
Operations: ProCredit Holding AG generates its revenue primarily through banking services, totaling €414.50 million.
Dividend Yield: 7.1%
ProCredit Holding AG reported a net income increase to €33.5 million in Q1 2024, up from €29.5 million the previous year, reflecting a robust earnings growth of 146.2%. Despite this, the company's dividend history is marked by volatility and unreliability over its seven-year dividend-paying period. With a high bad loans ratio at 2.7%, and dividends only partially covered by earnings (33.2%), sustainability concerns persist even though the stock trades at significant undervaluation (65.1% below fair value) and analysts predict substantial price growth (94.6%).
Sixt
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Sixt SE operates globally, offering mobility services to both private and business customers through a network of corporate and franchise stations, with a market capitalization of approximately €2.92 billion.
Operations: Sixt SE generates its revenue primarily from operations in Germany (€1.21 billion), Europe (€1.49 billion), and North America (€1.14 billion).
Dividend Yield: 5.8%
Sixt SE, recently impacted by index adjustments, faces challenges with a net loss of €23.12 million in Q1 2024 despite increased sales to €780.24 million. The company's dividend yield stands at 5.78%, higher than the German market average, but concerns about sustainability arise as dividends are not well covered by earnings or cash flows. Sixt's expansion in North America and partnerships like with Blacklane may bolster future prospects, yet its financial position is strained with debt poorly covered by operating cash flow.
