Oeneo

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

Overview: Oeneo SA is a global company specializing in the wine industry with a market capitalization of approximately €695.43 million.

Operations: Oeneo SA generates its revenue primarily through two segments: Aging (€103.16 million) and Corking (€226.21 million).

Dividend Yield: 6.5%

Oeneo has demonstrated inconsistent dividend reliability over the past decade, with significant annual fluctuations exceeding 20%. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 66.8%, indicating that earnings cover the dividends, the high cash payout ratio of 302.4% suggests that these are not well supported by free cash flow. Additionally, while Oeneo's dividends have increased over this period, a forecasted modest earnings growth of 3.35% per year may challenge future sustainability and growth of dividend payments.
