HSBC Holdings

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

Overview: HSBC Holdings plc is a global provider of banking and financial services with a market cap of £120.86 billion.

Operations: HSBC Holdings plc generates its revenue from four primary segments: Commercial Banking ($15.43 billion), Global Banking and Markets ($16.16 billion), and Wealth and Personal Banking ($40.10 billion).

Dividend Yield: 6.8%

HSBC Holdings has shown a commitment to maintaining its dividend payments, recently approving a second interim dividend for 2024 amounting to $1.85 billion. However, the company has only paid dividends for nine years and has experienced volatility in its payouts. Despite this, HSBC's payout ratio of 52.5% indicates that current dividends are covered by earnings. Recent debt financing activities and strategic divestitures may impact future stability but reflect efforts to streamline operations and focus on core markets.

Ocean Wilsons Holdings

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

Overview: Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited, with a market cap of £479.17 million, is an investment holding company that provides maritime and logistics services in Brazil.

Operations: Ocean Wilsons Holdings Limited generates $519.35 million in revenue from its maritime services in Brazil.

Dividend Yield: 4.7%

Ocean Wilsons Holdings has demonstrated consistent dividend growth over the past decade, with dividends well-covered by earnings (48.7% payout ratio) and cash flows (26.6% cash payout ratio). The company's price-to-earnings ratio of 10.4x is attractive compared to the UK market average of 16.9x. Although its dividend yield of 4.7% is below the top tier in the UK market, it remains reliable and stable. Recent M&A discussions regarding its subsidiary Wilson Sons may influence future performance but are currently speculative.
