Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: JSP Corporation is a global manufacturer and seller of expanded polymers, with a market cap of ¥71.23 billion.
Operations: JSP Corporation's revenue segments include the manufacturing and selling of expanded polymers worldwide.
Dividend Yield: 3.6%
JSP Corporation's recent dividend increase to JPY 50.00 per share, up from JPY 40.00 a year ago, reflects its commitment to returning value to shareholders despite past volatility in payments. The dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 29.1% and 43.8%, respectively, suggesting sustainability for now. However, the company's dividend yield of 3.56% is below the top quartile in Japan, and historical instability may concern some investors.

- Our comprehensive valuation report raises the possibility that JSP is priced lower than what may be justified by its financials.
Seika (TSE:8061)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Seika Corporation is involved in the import, sale, and export of plants, machinery, and environmental, information communication, and electronic equipment across Asia, Europe, the United States, and globally with a market cap of ¥95.53 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.2%
Seika's dividend payments, though increased recently to ¥45.00 per share, have been volatile over the past decade. The payout ratio of 39.2% indicates dividends are well-covered by earnings, but a cash payout ratio of 77.4% suggests less robust coverage by cash flows. The dividend yield of 3.25% lags behind Japan's top quartile payers at 3.84%.
