Below we spotlight a couple of our favorites from our exclusive screener.
Viscofan
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Viscofan, S.A., along with its subsidiaries, is engaged in the manufacturing, production, and distribution of casings in Spain and has a market cap of approximately €2.67 billion.
Operations: Viscofan generates its revenue primarily from the wrapping segment, which accounts for €1.24 billion.
Dividend Yield: 5.4%
Viscofan's dividend payments have shown stability and growth over the past decade, making them reliable for investors. However, with a high cash payout ratio of 107.9%, the dividends are not well covered by free cash flows, raising sustainability concerns despite being covered by earnings at an 89% payout ratio. Trading at 41.3% below its estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation, yet the dividend yield of 5.37% is among Spain's top quartile payers but lacks coverage robustness.

Dividend Yield: 4.3%
Swiss Re's dividend yield of 4.35% ranks in the top 25% of Swiss market payers, supported by a payout ratio of 58.1%, indicating coverage by earnings and cash flows.
