PCB Bancorp (PCB)

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

Overview: PCB Bancorp, with a market cap of $278.08 million, operates as the bank holding company for PCB Bank, offering a range of banking products and services to small and middle market businesses and individuals.

Operations: PCB Bancorp generates revenue through its banking operations, providing financial products and services tailored to the needs of small and middle market businesses as well as individual clients.

Dividend Yield: 4%

PCB Bancorp's dividend of US$0.20 per share, paid quarterly, is well-covered by earnings with a payout ratio of 37.8%. Despite recent Nasdaq compliance issues due to delayed SEC filings, the company maintains stable and reliable dividends over the past decade. However, its dividend yield of 3.98% is below the top tier in the U.S., and while trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value, future dividend sustainability remains uncertain without complete data on earnings coverage.

Dividend Yield: 8.5%

Artisan Partners Asset Management's dividend, currently at US$0.68 per share, is covered by both earnings (83.8% payout ratio) and cash flows (75.2% cash payout ratio), but has been volatile over the past decade. Despite a top-tier yield of 8.46%, recent insider selling and a forecasted decline in earnings raise concerns about future stability.

United Parcel Service (UPS)

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

Overview: United Parcel Service, Inc. is a package delivery and logistics provider that offers transportation and delivery services, with a market cap of approximately $84.10 billion.

Operations: United Parcel Service, Inc. generates revenue through three main segments: International at $18.08 billion, U.S. Domestic at $60.57 billion, and Supply Chain Solutions at $12.26 billion.

Dividend Yield: 6.4%

United Parcel Service's dividend, yielding 6.4%, ranks in the top 25% of U.S. payers but is not well covered by earnings or cash flow, with payout ratios exceeding 95% and 103% respectively. Despite stable growth over the past decade, high debt levels raise sustainability concerns. Recent board additions and fixed-income offerings totaling over $2 billion may impact financial flexibility, though UPS trades at a discount to its estimated fair value.
