Dividend Yield: 4.1%

Credicorp trades at 39.7% below its estimated fair value, offering a potentially attractive entry point for dividend investors. While its dividend yield of 4.09% is lower than the top quartile in the US market, dividends are covered by earnings with a payout ratio of 50.8%.

Operations: Bunge Global SA generates revenue from several key segments, including Agribusiness ($43.73 billion), Refined and Specialty Oils ($13.02 billion), and Milling ($1.64 billion).

Dividend Yield: 3.4%

Bunge Global offers a stable dividend history with consistent growth over the past decade, supported by a low payout ratio of 27.3%. However, its current yield of 3.42% is below the top quartile in the US market and not covered by free cash flows. Recent earnings showed significant improvement, but shareholder dilution and large one-off items impact financial quality.

Buckle (BKE)

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

Overview: The Buckle, Inc. is a U.S.-based retailer specializing in casual apparel, footwear, and accessories for men, women, and kids under the Buckle and Buckle Youth brands with a market cap of $3 billion.

Operations: The Buckle, Inc.'s revenue primarily comes from its sales of casual apparel, footwear, and accessories, totaling $1.25 billion.

Dividend Yield: 6.3%

Buckle's dividend yield of 6.33% ranks in the top 25% of US payers, but its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 97.8%, indicating inadequate free cash flow coverage. Although dividends have grown over the past decade, they remain volatile and unreliable. Recent sales growth—12.2% for August and a year-to-date increase of 7.2%—reflects positive revenue trends, yet significant insider selling raises concerns about future stability.
