Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Eiffage SA operates in the construction and concessions sectors across France, Europe, and internationally, with a market cap of €12.36 billion.
Operations: Eiffage SA's revenue is primarily derived from its Infrastructures segment at €9.17 billion, followed by Energy Systems at €7.68 billion, Concessions at €4.18 billion, Construction at €4.10 billion, and Holding activities contributing €294 million.
Dividend Yield: 3.7%
Eiffage's dividend profile presents a mixed picture. While dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios at 45.5% and 17.7% respectively, the company's dividend history has been volatile over the past decade. Recent inclusion in the CAC 40 index may enhance visibility, yet high debt levels could pose challenges. Despite trading below estimated fair value, its current yield of 3.66% is less competitive compared to top French dividend payers.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Alior Bank S.A. offers a range of banking products and services to individuals, businesses, and enterprises in Poland with a market cap of PLN15.05 billion.
Operations: Alior Bank S.A. generates its revenue primarily from three segments: Treasury (PLN 891.36 million), Retail Customers (PLN 3.20 billion), and Business Customers (PLN 1.60 billion).
Dividend Yield: 8%
Alior Bank's dividend yield is among the top 25% in Poland, with a current payout ratio of 52.3%, indicating dividends are covered by earnings. However, its allowance for bad loans is low at 78%, and it has a high bad loan level of 5.9%. Although dividends have increased over two years, future earnings are expected to decline by 5.2% annually over three years, potentially impacting dividend sustainability despite being forecasted to be covered by earnings in three years.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Dividend Yield: 4.8%
Daimler Truck Holding offers a dividend yield of 4.76%, placing it in the top 25% of German dividend payers, with dividends covered by earnings and cash flows at payout ratios of 66.2% and 57.1%, respectively. While dividends have been stable, they lack a long history, having only been paid for three years. Recent partnerships to expand electric charging infrastructure could bolster long-term growth prospects despite current challenges in profitability and sales performance.
