In a week marked by fluctuating consumer confidence and mixed economic signals, global markets experienced moderate gains, with U.S. stocks finishing the holiday-shortened period on a high note before giving back some of their advances. Amid these market dynamics, investors may find value in dividend stocks, which can offer steady income streams and potential resilience against economic uncertainties.

Here’s a peek at a few of the choices from the screener.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Bénéteau S.A. designs, manufactures, and sells boats and leisure homes in France and internationally, with a market cap of €708.81 million.
Operations: Bénéteau S.A.’s revenue is primarily driven by its boat segment, which generated €1.21 billion.
Dividend Yield: 8.3%
Bénéteau’s dividend yield of 8.3% ranks in the top 25% of French market payers, but its sustainability is questionable due to lack of free cash flow coverage and volatile past payments. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 65.8%, earnings are insufficient to cover dividends, and future earnings are forecasted to decline by 0.6% annually over three years. The stock trades at a significant discount, valued at €1 billion below estimated fair value. Recent events include closing a buyback plan on December 14, 2024.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Kemira Oyj is a chemicals company operating across Finland, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the Americas, and the Asia Pacific with a market cap of €3.07 billion.
Operations: Kemira Oyj generates revenue through its Pulp & Paper segment, contributing €1.65 billion, and its Industry & Water segment, which accounts for €1.38 billion.
Dividend Yield: 3.4%
Kemira Oyj’s dividend stability over the past decade is complemented by reliable and growing payments, supported by a sustainable payout ratio of 61.1% and a cash payout ratio of 36.9%. Despite recent declines in sales and net income, the company maintains strong earnings coverage for dividends. The dividend yield of 3.42% is modest compared to top Finnish payers but remains attractive due to consistent growth. Analysts suggest potential stock price appreciation, trading below fair value estimates.
