K+S

Overview: K+S Aktiengesellschaft operates globally as a supplier of mineral products for various sectors including agricultural, industrial, and consumer markets, with a market capitalization of approximately €2.28 billion.
Operations: K+S Aktiengesellschaft generates its revenue primarily from the Europe+ operating unit, which contributed €3.67 billion.
Dividend Yield: 5.5%
K+S Aktiengesellschaft experienced a significant decline in sales and net income in the recent quarters, with Q1 2024 sales dropping to €988 million and net income to €18.6 million from much higher figures a year prior. Despite these challenges, the company maintains a dividend of €0.70, although its sustainability is questionable given the unprofitability and inadequate coverage by earnings or free cash flow. The past share buyback program may offer some investor confidence, but overall dividend reliability remains uncertain due to historical volatility and current financial pressures.

WashTec
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: WashTec AG specializes in providing car wash solutions across Germany, Europe, North America, and the Asia Pacific, with a market capitalization of approximately €0.55 billion.
Operations: WashTec AG generates revenue primarily from its operations in North America, contributing €98.39 million.
Dividend Yield: 5.4%
WashTec AG's dividend yield stands at 5.39%, ranking in the top 25% of German dividend payers. However, its payout ratio is high at 106.6%, indicating dividends are not well covered by earnings, though they are supported by a more reasonable cash payout ratio of 53.5%. Despite a historical increase in dividends, their reliability has been compromised by volatility over the past decade. Recent financials show a slight decline with Q1 2024 sales and net income dropping to €100.76 million and €3.12 million respectively from higher figures last year, suggesting potential pressure on future payouts.
