Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Cortina Holdings Limited is an investment holding company involved in the distribution and retailing of timepieces and accessories across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and internationally with a market cap of SGD619.26 million.
Operations: Cortina Holdings Limited generates its revenue primarily from two segments: Retail, which accounts for SGD858.54 million, and Wholesale, contributing SGD117.06 million.
Dividend Yield: 4.3%
Cortina Holdings' dividend payments have been unreliable and volatile over the past decade, despite being well-covered by earnings (payout ratio: 5%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio: 32.9%). The dividend yield of 4.28% is below the top quartile in Singapore's market. Recent business expansion into Australia, with a S$21 million acquisition funded through internal resources and bank borrowings, could influence future earnings stability but does not require shareholder approval due to its size.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆

Operations: Mitachi Co., Ltd. generates its revenue through the sale of semiconductors, electronic components, and provision of electronics manufacturing services across domestic and international markets.
Dividend Yield: 3.9%
Mitachi's dividends are well-covered by earnings (payout ratio: 12.6%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio: 24.2%), with a dividend yield of 3.91%, placing it in Japan's top quartile for dividend payers. Despite past volatility in dividend payments, recent earnings growth of 78.5% suggests potential stability improvements. The company projects net sales of ¥105 billion and profit attributable to owners at ¥1.75 billion for the fiscal year ending May 31, 2026, which may impact future payouts positively.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

ISE Chemicals offers a high dividend yield of 8.83%, ranking it in the top 25% of dividend payers in Japan. However, its dividends have been unreliable and volatile over the past decade, with a cash payout ratio of 666.6%, indicating poor coverage by free cash flows. Despite earnings growth of 30.9% last year and a low payout ratio of 43.6%, sustainability concerns remain due to insufficient coverage by earnings or cash flows amidst recent share price volatility.
