Ibersol S.G.P.S
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Ibersol S.G.P.S. operates a network of restaurants across Portugal, Spain, and Angola, with a market cap of €396.58 million.
Operations: Ibersol S.G.P.S. generates revenue through its Counters (€186.31 million), Restaurants (€112.67 million), and Concessions, Travel and Catering (€173.88 million) segments across its operational regions.
Dividend Yield: 5.2%
Ibersol S.G.P.S. offers a dividend yield of 5.19%, placing it in the top 25% of Portuguese dividend payers, but its high payout ratio (145.9%) suggests dividends aren't well covered by earnings, although cash flow coverage is better at 48.5%. Despite a decade of increased payments, volatility remains an issue with unreliable past performance. Recent earnings show sales growth to €471.11M while net income declined to €13.85M, impacting sustainability concerns.
