Overview: Centro Escolar University operates educational institutions in the Philippines and has a market cap of ₱7.13 billion.

Operations: Centro Escolar University generates its revenue from operating educational institutions in the Philippines.

Dividend Yield: 8.5%

Centro Escolar University reported increased earnings for the year ending May 31, 2025, with net income rising to PHP 683.09 million. Despite this growth, CEU’s dividend payments have been volatile over the past decade and remain unreliable. The company’s cash payout ratio suggests dividends are currently covered by cash flows, although insufficient data precludes a full assessment of coverage by earnings. Trading at a significant discount to its estimated fair value, CEU offers an attractive yield compared to the PH market average.

Security Bank’s dividend is well-covered by earnings, with a low payout ratio of 9.7%, and is expected to remain covered in three years. However, the bank’s dividend history shows volatility over the past decade, making it unreliable. Despite this, dividends have grown over ten years. Trading below its estimated fair value and peers’ valuations, Security Bank offers modest yield potential but faces challenges with a high bad loans ratio of 2.9%. Recent executive changes may impact strategic direction.
