Its current dividend yield of 6.08% is slightly below the top 25% of Philippine market payers. The company maintains a sustainable payout ratio with dividends covered by both earnings (49.5%) and cash flows (59.8%).

Dividend Yield: 4.7%

Gan Shmuel Foods' dividends are well covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 21.6% and 18.4%, respectively.
