Repsol
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating:★★★★☆☆
Overview:Repsol, S.A. is a multi-energy company operating in Spain, Peru, the United States, Portugal, and internationally with a market cap of approximately €18.92 billion.
Operations:Repsol, S.A. generates its revenue from several segments: €26.49 billion from Customer, €4.78 billion from Upstream, €41.29 billion from Industrial, and €904 million from Low Carbon Generation activities.
Dividend Yield:5.8%
Repsol's dividend yield of 5.84% places it among the top 25% of Spanish dividend payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high payout ratio of 107.3%, indicating dividends are not well covered by earnings. Although cash flows cover the dividend with a reasonable cash payout ratio (60.9%), past payments have been volatile and unreliable over the last decade, despite some growth in recent years. The company's ongoing strategic discussions, including potential mergers or public listings for its upstream unit, could impact future financial stability and dividend reliability.
