Dividend Yield: 3.4%
Calavo Growers, Inc. recently announced a share repurchase program worth US$25 million, valid until 2027, which can support stock price stability. The company declared a quarterly dividend of $0.20 per share payable in April 2025.

Operations: Lifetime Brands generates revenue from its international operations amounting to $55.75 million and from U.S. (including retail direct) activities totaling $627.20 million.
Dividend Yield: 3.1%
Lifetime Brands' dividend yield of 3.13% is below the top tier in the U.S. market, and while dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, they are not well covered by earnings due to unprofitability. However, a low cash payout ratio indicates coverage by cash flows. Recent financial results show improved quarterly earnings but an annual net loss. The company is seeking acquisitions and expanding infrastructure with a new distribution center to support future growth strategies.

Trading below estimated fair value suggests potential investment appeal, though high non-performing loans (5.3%) present risks.
