Dividend Yield: 7.6%
Exmar offers a high dividend yield of 7.61%, placing it in the top 25% of Belgian dividend payers, but its reliability is questionable due to volatility and a history of substantial annual drops. Although dividends have grown over the past decade, they are not well covered by free cash flow, with a cash payout ratio at 109.1%. Recent shareholder dilution and declining profit margins further complicate its sustainability as a reliable dividend stock.
