Bisalloy Steel Group

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

Overview: Bisalloy Steel Group Limited manufactures and sells quenched and tempered, high-tensile, and abrasion-resistant steel plates across Australia, Indonesia, Thailand, and internationally with a market cap of A$213.78 million.

Operations: Bisalloy Steel Group Limited generates revenue through the production and distribution of specialized steel plates designed for high-tensile strength and abrasion resistance across various international markets, including Australia, Indonesia, and Thailand.

Dividend Yield: 9.2%

Bisalloy Steel Group offers a dividend yield of 9.19%, placing it in the top 25% of Australian dividend payers, though its dividends have been historically volatile and unreliable. Despite an increase in dividend payments over the past decade, their sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 161.8%. The recent interim fully franked dividend declaration of A$0.08 per share underscores ongoing payouts, but coverage by free cash flow remains inadequate.

Dividend Yield: 3.3%

Monadelphous Group's dividend yield of 3.26% is below the top tier in Australia, and while dividends have increased over the past decade, they have been volatile and unreliable. The current payout ratio of 82.2% suggests dividends are covered by earnings, with a cash payout ratio of 76.4% indicating coverage by cash flows as well.
