Dividend yield trends offer valuation insights

Brambles (BXB) and Cochlear (COH) are two prominent companies on the ASX200 that continue to attract attention for their steady operations and dividend potential. As 2025 progresses, their share performance and dividend trends offer useful indicators for anyone watching ASX dividend stocks.

Brambles (ASX:BXB): A Supply Chain Backbone

Brambles operates the world’s largest pool of reusable pallets, crates, and containers. These assets are vital to global supply chains and circulate under its flagship CHEP brand across the Asia-Pacific, Americas, and EMEA regions.

The company runs on a hire model where fees are collected every time a pallet or crate is used in the logistics chain. This model allows for consistent revenue generation and positions Brambles as a dependable service provider in global commerce.

So far in 2025, the Brambles share price has risen by 7.1%. Looking at valuation through the lens of dividend yield, Brambles currently offers a yield of around 2.45%, compared to its five-year average of 2.66%. A lower yield relative to historical averages can sometimes reflect a rising share price or changes in dividend payouts.

However, Brambles’ most recent annual report suggests that its dividend has been increasing, with last year’s payout higher than its three-year average. This may signal financial strength and resilience in delivering shareholder returns.

Cochlear (ASX:COH): Enhancing Lives Globally

Cochlear, a global leader in implantable hearing solutions, has been operating since 1981. With more than 750,000 hearing devices delivered globally and a presence in over 50 countries, the company plays a significant role in improving quality of life for people with hearing impairments.

The Cochlear share price currently trades around 11.9% above its 52-week low, showing signs of investor confidence. While its dividend yield isn’t the primary attraction, Cochlear’s steady growth and global footprint make it a consistent performer in the healthcare sector.

Both Brambles and Cochlear are examples of companies on the ASX200 that offer valuable insights into business stability and dividend trends. For those exploring ASX dividend stocks, tracking valuation through yield and long-term performance metrics can provide a useful snapshot of where these companies stand within the broader market context.
