Nippon Denko (TSE:5563)

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

Overview: Nippon Denko Co., Ltd. operates in Japan through its subsidiaries, focusing on ferroalloys, functional materials, incineration ash recycling, aqua solutions, and electric power businesses with a market cap of ¥43.52 billion.

Operations: Nippon Denko Co., Ltd.'s revenue is primarily derived from its Ferroalloy Business at ¥51.19 billion, followed by the Functional Materials Business at ¥15.04 billion, Incineration Ash Recycling Business at ¥8.48 billion, Aqua Solution Business at ¥1.63 billion, and Electric Power Business at ¥1.35 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.1%

Nippon Denko's dividend payments have been volatile over the past decade, lacking reliability despite a recent increase. The current payout ratio of 79.7% suggests dividends are covered by earnings, and a cash payout ratio of 38% indicates solid coverage by cash flows. However, its dividend yield of 3.14% is below the top tier in Japan's market. Recent buybacks and strategic expansions in recycling facilities could impact future financial stability and dividend potential positively or negatively.

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

Overview: Financial Partners Group Co., Ltd., along with its subsidiaries, offers a range of financial products and services in Japan, with a market capitalization of ¥157.42 billion.

Operations: Financial Partners Group Co., Ltd. generates revenue through its diverse offerings of financial products and services within Japan.

Dividend Yield: 6.7%

Financial Partners Group's dividend yield is among the top 25% in Japan, yet its history of volatile payments raises concerns about reliability. The recent decrease from JPY 81.55 to JPY 65.20 per share highlights this volatility. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 70.3% and strong cash flow coverage at a cash payout ratio of 9.7%, high debt levels and fluctuating share prices may affect future stability and dividend consistency, especially following their recent JPY 13.5 billion debt financing agreement.
