ABN AMRO Bank
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: ABN AMRO Bank N.V. offers a range of banking products and financial services to retail, private, and business clients both in the Netherlands and globally, with a market capitalization of approximately €12.92 billion.
Operations: ABN AMRO Bank N.V. generates revenue through its Corporate Banking (€3.50 billion), Wealth Management (€1.59 billion), and Personal & Business Banking (€4.07 billion) segments.
Dividend Yield: 9.7%
ABN AMRO Bank's dividend track record is inconsistent, with volatile payments over the past 8 years and a less than 10-year history of dividend distribution. Despite this, the bank's dividends are currently well-covered by earnings, with a payout ratio of 47.9%. However, earnings are expected to decline by an average of 11.1% annually over the next three years, which could challenge future dividend sustainability. Recent strategic moves include discussions for selling its stake in Neuflize Vie and related partnerships potentially impacting its financial positioning slightly positively.
Koninklijke Heijmans
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Koninklijke Heijmans N.V. is a Dutch company that operates in property development, construction, and infrastructure sectors both domestically and internationally, with a market capitalization of approximately €551.27 million.
Operations: Koninklijke Heijmans N.V. generates revenue through its Real Estate segment (€411.79 million), Van Wanrooij division (€124.76 million), Infrastructure Works (€800.03 million), and Construction & Technology (€1.08 billion).
Dividend Yield: 4.3%
Koninklijke Heijmans has a fluctuating history of dividend payments, making its reliability questionable for consistent income. Despite this, dividends have grown over the last decade and are currently supported by both earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 37.1% and 59% respectively. However, the current yield of 4.33% trails behind the top quartile in the Dutch market at 5.69%. The stock is also trading slightly below its estimated fair value, indicating potential undervaluation.
Koninklijke KPN
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Koninklijke KPN N.V. is a telecommunications and IT service provider in the Netherlands, with a market capitalization of approximately €14.19 billion.
Operations: Koninklijke KPN N.V. generates revenue primarily through three segments: Consumer (€2.93 billion), Business (€1.84 billion), and Wholesale (€0.70 billion).
Dividend Yield: 4.2%
Koninklijke KPN has shown a pattern of unstable dividend payments over the past decade, with significant fluctuations including annual drops exceeding 20%. Despite this, dividends have grown in the last 10 years and are currently supported by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios at 78.4% and 59.6% respectively. However, its dividend yield of 4.16% is below the top quartile average in the Dutch market (5.69%). Additionally, KPN's financial position is burdened by high debt levels but it trades at a significant discount to estimated fair value (57.6% below), suggesting potential undervaluation.
