The company has demonstrated stability and growth in its dividends over the past decade, supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 65.1% and an even lower cash payout ratio of 24%, ensuring dividends are well-covered by both earnings and cash flows. Recent strategic moves include a potential significant stake acquisition in Income Insurance Limited, reflecting its ongoing commitment to expand its market presence while maintaining robust shareholder returns through stable dividends.

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: KSB SE & Co. KGaA is a global manufacturer and supplier of pumps, valves, and related services with a market capitalization of approximately €1.17 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.8%
KSB SE & Co. KGaA reported a substantial earnings increase to €152.3 million in 2023 from €103.65 million in 2022, with sales rising to €2.82 billion. Despite this growth, its dividend yield of 3.77% remains below the top quartile of German dividend stocks at 4.69%. Dividends are well-supported by a low payout ratio of 29.9% and cash flow coverage at 26.2%, yet the company's history shows an unstable track record with volatile dividends over the past decade, suggesting potential concerns for those seeking consistent income.

Dividend Yield: 8.3%
Mercedes-Benz Group AG's dividend yield of 8.34% ranks in the top 25% in Germany, supported by a payout ratio of 41.9% and cash flow coverage at 70.2%. Despite a recent dividend increase to €5.30 per share, earnings are expected to decline slightly over the next three years, and historical dividends have shown volatility. Additionally, debt is poorly covered by operating cash flow, indicating potential financial stress that could impact future dividend sustainability.
