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

Overview: NZX Limited operates a stock exchange in New Zealand and has a market cap of NZ$464.88 million.

Operations: NZX Limited generates revenue from several segments, including Regulation (NZ$3.86 million), Wealth Technology (NZ$11.09 million), Funds Services (NZ$46.96 million), Secondary Markets (NZ$25.62 million), Corporate Services (NZ$0.09 million), Information Services (NZ$19.67 million), and Capital Markets Origination (NZ$16.94 million).

Dividend Yield: 4.3%

NZX offers a stable dividend history with payments growing over the past decade, but its current payout ratio of 108.2% suggests dividends are not well covered by earnings. Despite covering dividends with a cash payout ratio of 81.1%, high debt levels and declining net income to NZ$8.34 million in H1 2025 raise sustainability concerns. The dividend yield of 4.31% is below the top quartile in New Zealand, highlighting potential limitations for investors seeking high yields in Asia’s dividend landscape.

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

Overview: Rockwell Land Corporation is a property developer focusing on high-end and upper-mid markets primarily in Metro Manila, the Philippines, with a market cap of approximately ₱12.05 billion.

Dividend Yield: 6.2%

Rockwell Land’s dividend yield of 6.15% places it among the top 25% of Philippine dividend payers, though its history has been volatile with significant annual drops. Despite this, dividends are well covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios at 20.2% and 33.2%, respectively. Recent earnings reports show modest growth in revenue but a slight decline in net income, indicating potential challenges in sustaining dividend stability amidst fluctuating financial performance.

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

Dividend Yield: 8.2%

Sabina’s dividend yield of 8.17% ranks it in the top 25% of Thai dividend payers, yet its dividends are not well covered by earnings due to a high payout ratio of 109.1%. While cash flows reasonably cover dividends with a cash payout ratio of 50.8%, the company’s history shows volatility and unreliability in payouts over the past decade. Recent financials reveal declining revenue and net income, raising concerns about future dividend sustainability despite historical increases.
