Let's take a closer look at a couple of our picks from the screened companies.
MLP
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: MLP SE operates in Germany, offering financial services to private, corporate, and institutional clients with a market capitalization of approximately €0.62 billion.
Operations: MLP SE generates revenue through various segments, primarily including Financial Consulting (€426.19 million), FERI (€221.45 million), Banking (€195.50 million), DOMCURA (€131.71 million), Germany Real Estate (€51.96 million), and Industrial Broker (€35.97 million).
Dividend Yield: 5.2%
MLP SE's recent financial performance shows a positive trend with Q1 2024 sales and net income rising to €284.11 million and €27.76 million, respectively. Despite a historically unstable dividend track record, current dividends are well-covered by earnings with a payout ratio of 62.3% and by cash flows at 10.9%. However, the company's dividend history has been volatile over the past decade, which might concern long-term stability-focused investors. Trading at 41.8% below estimated fair value suggests potential undervaluation.

Overview: K+S Aktiengesellschaft is a global supplier of mineral products for the agricultural, industrial, consumer, and communities sectors, with a market capitalization of approximately €2.25 billion.
Operations: K+S Aktiengesellschaft generates €3.67 billion in revenue from its Europe+ operating unit.
Dividend Yield: 5.6%
K+S Aktiengesellschaft's recent financial downturn, with Q1 2024 sales dropping to €988 million from €1.19 billion and net income plummeting to €18.6 million from €263.4 million year-over-year, raises concerns about its dividend sustainability despite a current yield of 5.57%. The company's dividends have shown volatility over the past decade and are not well covered by earnings, indicating potential risk for dividend-focused investors. However, the recent issuance of a €495.74 million fixed-income offering suggests efforts towards financial stabilization.

Dividend Yield: 5.6%
WashTec AG, despite its attractive 5.6% dividend yield, faces challenges with sustainability as the payout ratio stands high at 106.6%, indicating dividends are not well covered by earnings. Although dividends have increased over the past decade, their reliability has been compromised by volatility.
