Gas Plus offers a dividend yield of 5.83%, placing it in the top 25% of Italian dividend payers, although its dividends have been volatile over the past decade with significant annual drops. The payout ratio is reasonably low at 44.7%, suggesting dividends are covered by earnings, but insufficient data exists to confirm coverage by cash flow.
