    Overview: Taaleri Oyj is a public property of asset management with a market capitalization of € 203.29 million.

    Processing: Taaleri Oyj generates income mainly from its segments, including € 25.51 million from Garantia and € 38.39 million from private assets management – renewable energy, together with € 3.58 million from other activities for private assets management.

    Dividend yield: 6.9%

    The dividend yield of Taaleri Oyj of 6.93% is one of the top in the Finnish market, but its sustainability is doubtful due to a high cash payment ratio of 135.7%, indicating that dividends are not properly covered by cash flows. Despite the profit growth and trade under the real value, dividends have been volatile in recent decade. Recent proposals suggest a shift to biennial payments, with € 0.50 per share for 2024, which reflect strategic adjustments in the midst of fluctuating financial data and continuous joint ventures in real estate development.

    Processing: The turnover segments of Decora SA include wall products on PLN128.58 million and floor products on PLN439.84 million.

    Dividend yield: 4.1%

    The dividend payments of Decora were unreliable in recent decade, with periods of volatility. However, dividends are well covered by both income and cash flows, as indicated by a payment ratio of 38.1% and a payment ratio of 42%. Despite this stability in coverage, the dividend yield of 4.13% is lower than the top layer in Poland. Profit growth has been strong lately, but inconsistencies of historical dividends remain a concern for investors looking for reliability.
