Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Logista Integral, S.A. operates as both a distributor and logistics company across Spain, France, Italy, Portugal, and Poland, boasting a market capitalization of €3.85 billion.
Operations: Logista Integral, S.A. generates its primary revenue from Tobacco and Related Products (€12.09 billion), alongside contributions from Transport Services (€889.98 million) and Pharmaceutical Distribution (€273.42 million).
Dividend Yield: 7.2%
The company has proposed a 2024 dividend of €2.09 per share, reflecting a remarkable 30% increase from the previous year, supported by substantial earnings growth and robust cash flow. While the current trading value is below estimated fair value and the yield stands at a solid 7.16%, historical dividend volatility signals potential challenges, seen in the 89.5% payout ratio that restricts future increases without corresponding profit growth. Most recently, earnings reached €308.24 million on sales of €12.99 billion, showcasing impressive financial resilience.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Evli Oyj serves as an asset management firm offering a range of services to institutional, corporate, and private clients across Finland, Sweden, and beyond, with a market cap of €466.13 million.
Operations: The company’s revenue stemmed from three main segments: Group Operations (€9.20 million), Advisory and Corporate Clients (€12.80 million), and Wealth Management (€91.10 million).
Dividend Yield: 6.6%
Evli Oyj’s attractive dividend yield stands at 6.59%, placing it among the top quarter of Finnish dividend issuers, backed by a reasonable payout ratio of 68.5%. Although the company has only two years of dividend history, it has demonstrated consistent payment increases. However, rising debt levels and anticipated earnings downturns present significant risks. The latest nine-month earnings report indicated a net income surge to €37.7 million in 2024, bolstering its financial standing while trading below fair value estimates.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆

Dividend Yield: 4.9%
Burkhalter Holding AG’s dividend yield is recorded at 4.93%, placing it within the top 25% of Swiss dividend payers. The payout ratio sits at 87.4%, indicating that earnings support the distributions. Additionally, the cash payout ratio is relatively healthy at 59.7%. However, the company’s dividend history has been marked by fluctuating stability over the past ten years, despite payment growth. While last year showed a 10.3% increase in earnings, high debt levels pose risks to sustainability moving forward.
