UIE

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

Operations: UIE Plc's revenue segment primarily consists of $462.25 million from United Plantations Berhad (UP).

Dividend Yield: 3.6%

UIE's dividend payments have been volatile over the past decade, despite recent growth. The dividends are well covered by earnings and cash flows, with a low payout ratio of 22.6% and a cash payout ratio of 37.9%. However, large one-off items have impacted financial results, raising concerns about earnings quality. Trading at 24.2% below estimated fair value, UIE offers a lower yield than top-tier Danish dividend payers but maintains coverage sustainability amidst its unstable track record.
