DATA MODUL Produktion und Vertrieb von elektronischen Systemen (XTRA:DAM)
Overview: MVV Energie AG operates primarily in Germany, offering services such as electricity, heat, gas, water, and waste treatment and disposal with a market capitalization of approximately €2.06 billion.
Operations: MVV Energie AG generates revenue through three main segments: New Energies (€959.74 million), Customer Solutions (€7.54 billion), and Generation and Infrastructure (€1.75 billion).
Dividend Yield: 3.7%
MVV Energie AG's recent earnings reveal a significant drop in net income and EPS, reflecting larger one-off items affecting its financial health. Despite a stable dividend history over the past decade, the current 3.69% yield is below the German market's top quartile, and both earnings and free cash flows currently do not cover these payments. Although trading close to fair value with a low payout ratio of 30.5%, concerns about debt coverage and profit margins persist, casting doubts on future dividend sustainability.
Overview: PWO AG specializes in producing lightweight construction components from aluminum and steel for the mobility industry, operating across Germany, Czechia, Canada, Mexico, Serbia, and China with a market capitalization of €95 million.
Operations: PWO AG generates its revenue primarily through the sale of auto parts and accessories, totaling €562.18 million.
Dividend Yield: 5.8%
PWO AG's recent financial performance shows a steady increase in sales and net income, with first quarter 2024 sales rising to €146.87 million from €141 million the previous year, and annual earnings growing by 25%. Despite this, PWO's dividend history is marked by instability; its dividends have not shown consistent growth and have been volatile over the past decade. However, dividends are currently well-supported financially, evidenced by a low payout ratio of 33.3% and cash payout ratio of 23%, suggesting that while payments are secure, dividend growth remains uncertain.
Overview: Schloss Wachenheim AG is a company that produces and distributes sparkling and semi-sparkling wines across Europe and internationally, with a market capitalization of approximately €0.12 billion.
Operations: Schloss Wachenheim AG generates €441.16 million in revenue from its alcoholic beverages segment.
Dividend Yield: 3.9%
Schloss Wachenheim AG's recent financial results indicate a downturn, with a net loss of €3.07 million in Q3 2024, deepening from €0.502 million the previous year, despite growing sales to €337.91 million over nine months. Analysts predict a potential stock price increase of 32.5%. The company's dividend yield stands at 3.87%, below the top German dividend payers' average of 4.68%. While dividends have been stable for a decade and are supported by earnings with a payout ratio of 54.2%, their sustainability is questionable due to coverage issues by cash flows, highlighted by a high cash payout ratio of 113.1%.
