Bénéteau

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

Overview: Bénéteau S.A. designs, manufactures, and sells boats and leisure homes both in France and internationally, with a market cap of €733.81 million.

Operations: Bénéteau S.A. generates revenue primarily from its Boat segment, which accounts for €1.21 billion.

Dividend Yield: 8%

Bénéteau's dividend yield of 8.02% ranks in the top 25% of French dividend payers, yet sustainability is a concern as dividends are not covered by free cash flows and have been volatile over the past decade. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 65.8%, earnings alone cover dividends, raising questions about long-term reliability. Recent earnings show a decline with sales at €556.64 million and net income at €49.45 million for H1 2024, indicating potential challenges ahead for maintaining current dividend levels.
