Dividend Yield: 3.4%

Publicis Groupe S.A. recently raised its 2024 revenue guidance following a strong first half, with sales increasing to €7.65 billion from €7.11 billion year-over-year and net income up to €773 million from €623 million. Despite a low dividend yield of 3.45% compared to the French market's top quartile at 5.33%, the company has shown commitment to growing dividends, evidenced by a recent 17% increase in its annual payout to €3.40 per share. Dividends are reasonably covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 54.7% and 64.2%, respectively, though the dividend track record has been unstable over the past decade.

Operations: Samse SA generates revenue primarily through two segments: trading (€1.74 billion) and do-it-yourself retail (€0.43 billion).

Dividend Yield: 6.1%

Samse has a dividend yield of 6.08%, ranking in the top 25% in France, supported by a low payout ratio of 44.8% and cash payout ratio of 36.8%. Despite this, dividends have shown volatility over the past decade without consistent growth, posing risks for stability-minded investors. Trading at a P/E ratio of 7.4x—below the French market average—Samse offers value but with caution due to its unstable dividend history and modest earnings growth forecast at 4.03% annually.
