In this article, we will examine two German stocks: one that presents an attractive dividend opportunity and another that investors might consider avoiding due to its concerning payout ratio.

Dividend Yield: 3.4%

Technotrans SE, with a cash payout ratio of 37.5% and a payout ratio of 64.7%, maintains dividends well-supported by both earnings and cash flows, contrasting sharply with companies burdened by excessive payout ratios. However, its dividend history shows volatility and an unstable track record over the past decade, despite some growth in payments. Recent financials reveal a downturn, with Q1 revenue dropping to €56.04 million from €68.31 million year-over-year and net income falling significantly to €0.059 million from €2.2 million.
