BPER Banca

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

Overview: BPER Banca SpA is an Italian bank offering a range of banking products and services to individuals, businesses, and professionals both domestically and internationally, with a market cap of €9.38 billion.

Operations: BPER Banca SpA's revenue is primarily derived from its Retail segment (€2.67 billion), followed by Corporate (€859.35 million), Finance (€662.74 million), Large Corporate (€547.65 million), Private (€126.75 million), and Corporate Centre (€270.59 million).

Dividend Yield: 9.1%

BPER Banca offers a high dividend yield, ranking in the top 25% of Italian dividend payers. Its payout ratio of 60.6% indicates dividends are currently covered by earnings and are expected to remain so over the next three years. However, its nine-year track record shows volatility with unreliable payments. Trading at a good value compared to peers and below estimated fair value, it remains an intriguing option despite its unstable dividend history.
