BRC Asia

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

Overview: BRC Asia Limited operates in the prefabrication of steel reinforcement for concrete, serving markets including Singapore, Australia, Brunei, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, India and internationally with a market capitalization of approximately SGD 587.11 million.

Operations: BRC Asia Limited generates revenue primarily through two segments: Trading, which contributed SGD 413.27 million, and Fabrication and Manufacturing, with SGD 1.21 billion in earnings.

Dividend Yield: 7.5%

BRC Asia, trading at S$0.55 below estimated fair value, offers a dividend yield higher than 75% of Singapore market payers. Despite its high debt levels, dividends are well-covered with a 38% earnings payout ratio and a 28.1% cash flow payout ratio. However, investors should note BRC's history of volatile dividends over the past decade, reflecting instability in payments despite recent improvements in coverage metrics.

Bumitama Agri

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

Overview: Bumitama Agri Ltd. is an investment holding company focused on the production and trade of crude palm oil and palm kernel, primarily serving refineries in Indonesia, with a market capitalization of approximately SGD 1.19 billion.

Operations: Bumitama Agri Ltd. generates revenue primarily from its plantations and palm oil mills, totaling IDR 15.44 billion.

Dividend Yield: 7.0%

Bumitama Agri, with a dividend yield of 6.95%, ranks in the upper quartile of Singapore's dividend payers. The company's dividends are supported by a payout ratio of 40.4% and a cash payout ratio of 60.8%, indicating reasonable coverage by both earnings and cash flows. However, its dividend history over the past decade has been marked by volatility, and earnings are projected to decline annually by 5.5% over the next three years, which may challenge future dividend sustainability despite recent increases announced for April 2024 payouts.

Sing Investments & Finance maintains a dividend yield of 6.12%, slightly below the top quartile in Singapore. Its dividends are well-supported by a payout ratio of 42.7% and an even stronger cash payout ratio of 9.6%. However, the company's dividend history reveals inconsistency, with payments showing volatility over the past decade. Recently, it proposed a dividend of S$0.06 per share for FY2023 at its upcoming AGM, reflecting a cautious approach amidst modest earnings growth reported for the year.
