As global markets navigate a holiday-shortened week with mixed economic signals, including a decline in U.S. consumer confidence and fluctuating stock index performances, investors are increasingly seeking stability through reliable investment options. In such an environment, dividend stocks can offer consistent income and potential growth, making them an attractive choice for enhancing portfolio resilience amidst market uncertainties.
Let’s review some notable picks from our screened stocks.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Eiffage SA operates in construction, property and urban development, civil engineering, metallic construction, roads, energy systems, and concessions across France and internationally with a market cap of €8.09 billion.
Operations: Eiffage SA’s revenue segments include Concessions (€4.04 billion), Construction (€4.01 billion), Energy Systems (€6.49 billion), and Infrastructures (€8.78 billion).
Dividend Yield: 4.8%
Eiffage’s dividend yield of 4.84% is below the French market’s top quartile, and its payments have been volatile over the past decade, with significant annual drops. However, dividends are well-covered by earnings (38.6% payout ratio) and cash flows (16.4% cash payout ratio). Despite an unreliable track record, dividends have grown over ten years. The company trades at a substantial discount to fair value estimates but carries a high debt level.

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: TotalEnergies SE is a multi-energy company involved in the production and marketing of oil, biofuels, natural gas, green gases, renewables, and electricity across various regions including France, Europe, North America, Africa, and globally; it has a market cap of approximately €121.71 billion.

Dividend Yield: 5.9%
TotalEnergies offers a dividend yield of 5.9%, ranking in the top 25% of French dividend payers, though its payments have been volatile over the past decade. Despite this instability, dividends are well-covered by earnings (50% payout ratio) and cash flows (41.1% cash payout ratio). Trading at 51% below estimated fair value and with strategic renewable energy expansions underway, TotalEnergies presents a complex but potentially rewarding option for dividend-focused investors.
