Amid heightened global trade concerns and significant stock market declines across Europe, investors are increasingly seeking stability through dividend stocks. In such volatile times, companies with a strong track record of consistent dividend payments can offer a measure of reliability and income potential.

Dividend Yield: 3.2%
Thermador Groupe offers a stable dividend option with its annual dividend of €2.08 per share, supported by a low payout ratio of 42.6%, ensuring sustainability and coverage by earnings and cash flows. Despite recent declines in sales and net income, the company's dividends have grown steadily over the past decade without volatility. However, its current yield of 3.16% is below the top quartile in France, though it trades significantly below estimated fair value, suggesting potential for price appreciation.

Dividend Yield: 6.1%

With earnings and cash payout ratios at 76.2% and 66.4%, respectively, dividends are well-covered by both profits and cash flows. Although its yield of 6.11% lags behind Poland's top-tier payers, consistent profit growth supports future stability amidst trading below fair value estimates.

Recent earnings show growth with Q2 sales reaching €154.01 million and net income rising to €9.58 million, suggesting potential for future dividend sustainability improvements.
