Dividend Yield: 8.5%

SCOR SE's dividend yield stands at a competitive 8.49%, positioning it among the top quartile in the French market. Despite a volatile history, recent dividends have shown stability with an increase approved to €1.80 per share for 2023, reflecting a commitment to shareholder returns. The dividend sustainability is supported by a low payout ratio of 39.7% and an even lower cash payout ratio of 24.2%, ensuring that payments are well-covered by both earnings and cash flows. However, investors should note the stock's price volatility over recent months which may affect short-term investment outlooks.
