Maire (BIT:MAIRE)

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

Overview: MAIRE S.p.A. provides solutions in green chemistry and energy transition technologies, with a market cap of €4.13 billion.

Operations: Maire S.p.A.'s revenue is primarily derived from its Integrated E&C Solutions segment, generating €6.75 billion, and its Sustainable Technology Solutions segment, contributing €586.24 million.

Dividend Yield: 4.6%

Maire S.p.A. has shown solid financial performance, with a recent increase in earnings and revenue. The company's dividend payout ratio of 70.3% indicates that dividends are well-covered by earnings, while a cash payout ratio of 45.2% suggests strong cash flow support. However, Maire's dividend yield is slightly below the top tier in Italy and has been volatile over the past decade, raising concerns about reliability despite recent growth in payments.

• The valuation report we've compiled suggests that Maire's current price could be quite moderate.

Securitas (OM:SECU B)

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

Overview: Securitas AB (publ) offers security services across North America, Europe, Latin America, Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Australia with a market cap of SEK86.80 billion.

Operations: Securitas AB (publ) generates revenue from its key segments, including Securitas Europe with SEK66.91 billion, Securitas North America with SEK59.76 billion, and Securitas Ibero-America with SEK14.98 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.5%

Securitas AB's dividend payments are well-supported by a cash payout ratio of 39.7% and an earnings payout ratio of 54.3%, indicating strong coverage by both cash flows and profits. Despite a decade-long increase in dividends, their reliability is questionable due to volatility. The company's high debt level could pose risks, but it trades at a good value compared to peers. Earnings have shown consistent growth, enhancing its appeal for dividend investors despite a lower yield than top Swedish payers.
