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

Overview: Multi-Chem Limited is an investment holding company that distributes information technology products across Singapore, Greater China, Australia, India, and internationally with a market cap of SGD250.46 million.

Operations: Multi-Chem Limited generates revenue from its IT business in Singapore (SGD407.17 million), India (SGD54.17 million), Australia (SGD50.04 million), and other regions (SGD135.87 million), as well as from its PCB business in Singapore (SGD1.69 million).

Dividend Yield: 9.6%

Multi-Chem’s dividend yield of 9.57% ranks in the top 25% of Singapore’s market, but its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 1054.3%. Despite recent earnings growth and an interim dividend increase to S$0.111 per share, dividends have been volatile over the past decade. The price-to-earnings ratio at 7.8x suggests good value compared to the market average, but significant insider selling raises concerns about future stability.
