Dividend Yield: 4.1%

BRD - Groupe Société Générale offers a mixed outlook for dividend investors. Despite earnings growth of 4.3% over the past year and a low payout ratio of 46.5%, its dividend payments have been unreliable and volatile over the last decade, with a yield of 4.15% falling short of top-tier benchmarks in Romania (6.5%).

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Operations: Groupe CRIT SA's revenue primarily comes from its Temporary Work segment, generating €2.84 billion, and its Airport Assistance segment, contributing €437.18 million.

Dividend Yield: 10.3%

Groupe CRIT's dividend yield of 10.27% ranks among the top 25% in France, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high payout ratio of 96.9%, indicating dividends are not well covered by earnings. While cash flow coverage is reasonable at 58%, dividend payments have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade despite growth. The stock trades significantly below estimated fair value, presenting potential relative value compared to peers and industry standards.

Dividend Yield: 8.5%

Santander Bank Polska's dividend yield of 8.55% places it in the top 25% of Polish dividend payers, with current payouts covered by earnings at an 84.1% payout ratio, forecasted to improve to 75.2%. Despite a decade-long increase in dividends, their reliability is undermined by volatility and an unstable track record.
