Hefty Euro 2025 drinks prices including beer cost and £14.70 'Turbo Mate'
Thousands of England fans are expected in Switzerland to watch the Lionesses attempt to retain their European Championships title, and drinks prices won't be the cheapest England fans following the Lionesses at Euro 2025 will face hefty drinks prices in Zurich city centre - including in the fan zone Sarina Wiegman's team will play their first two group games in Zurich's Stadion Letzigrund before moving on to St Gallen to face Wales. A 400ml glass of lager will set supporters back CHF7.50 (£6.91) inside the Zurich fan zone, while a 100ml glass of wine costing £7.38 and prosecco available for £7.84. And non-alcoholic drinks aren't a great deal cheaper. It's £5.99 for a non-alcoholic beer, which comes in a 330ml serving, while 500mls of Gatorade, iced tea or fizzy drinks will set you back £5.53. You can also get half-litre bottles of water for £4.15, the same price as a coffee. If fans want to really push the boat out, though, they can get alcoholic aperitifs for £11.05 or long drinks for £14.70. These are vodka, gin or rum-based, with options including a 'Turbo Mate' - blending the herbal drink with an alcohol of your choice. There are also independent food stands located around the viewing areas and throughout the fan village, with offerings including traditional Swiss fare like raclette as well as kebabs, loaded fries and more. Price-wise, it's not much different outside the fan areas, with bars around the city charging comparable prices. England are set to be one of the best-supported teams at the Euros, which began on Wednesday with wins for Finland over Iceland and Norway against hosts Switzerland. "Already there are 61,000 Germans, 41,000 English, 16,000 French, 15,000 Dutch and 5,000 American fans,' Nadine Kessler, UEFA director for women's football, said. "I think we are at 114 nationalities and that's exactly what we want – that's unheard of in women's football – and it shows we have taken the right lessons from England 2022 and are on the way to a record-breaking event." England's players have been sticking to the iced drinks during the time out in Switzerland, with manager Sarina Wiegman detailing the ways her players have been keeping cool. 'We have these cold vests, we have [an] ice bath, ice drinks they can drink before training session they could also cool down a bit, get your temperature a little bit lower,' Wiegman said on Wednesday. 'We have ice cold towels at the rest moment in the training sessions ,they get the towels if they want to. So we make sure we are hydrated. Take another rest, don't go in and out all the time, for recovery, and do those things to keep your body temperature low.'

Swatch Group (VTX:UHR) Is Paying Out Less In Dividends Than Last Year
The Swatch Group AG's (VTX:UHR) dividend is being reduced from last year's payment covering the same period to CHF4.50 on the 27th of May. The dividend yield of 3.0% is still a nice boost to shareholder returns, despite the cut. Our free stock report includes 2 warning signs investors should be aware of before investing in Swatch Group. Read for free now. If the payments aren't sustainable, a high yield for a few years won't matter that much. Before this announcement, Swatch Group was paying out 121% of what it was earning, and not generating any free cash flows either. This high of a dividend payment could start to put pressure on the balance sheet in the future. Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise exponentially over the next year. Assuming the dividend continues along recent trends, we estimate that the payout ratio could reach 37%, which is in a comfortable range for us. View our latest analysis for Swatch Group The company has a long dividend track record, but it doesn't look great with cuts in the past. Since 2015, the dividend has gone from CHF7.50 total annually to CHF4.50. This works out to be a decline of approximately 5.0% per year over that time. Generally, we don't like to see a dividend that has been declining over time as this can degrade shareholders' returns and indicate that the company may be running into problems. With a relatively unstable dividend, it's even more important to evaluate if earnings per share is growing, which could point to a growing dividend in the future. Over the past five years, it looks as though Swatch Group's EPS has declined at around 23% a year. This steep decline can indicate that the business is going through a tough time, which could constrain its ability to pay a larger dividend each year in the future. Over the next year, however, earnings are actually predicted to rise, but we would still be cautious until a track record of earnings growth can be built. Overall, the dividend looks like it may have been a bit high, which explains why it has now been cut. The company seems to be stretching itself a bit to make such big payments, but it doesn't appear they can be consistent over time. We don't think that this is a great candidate to be an income stock. Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one. Still, investors need to consider a host of other factors, apart from dividend payments, when analysing a company. To that end, Swatch Group has 2 warning signs (and 1 which is a bit unpleasant) we think you should know about.

Geberit's (VTX:GEBN) Shareholders Will Receive A Bigger Dividend Than Last Year
The board of Geberit AG (VTX:GEBN) has announced that it will be paying its dividend of CHF12.80 on the 24th of April, an increased payment from last year's comparable dividend. This makes the dividend yield about the same as the industry average at 2.2%. Check out our latest analysis for Geberit We like a dividend to be consistent over the long term, so checking whether it is sustainable is important. The last payment made up 71% of earnings, but cash flows were much higher. Since the dividend is just paying out cash to shareholders, we care more about the cash payout ratio from which we can see plenty is being left over for reinvestment in the business. Looking forward, earnings per share is forecast to rise by 19.7% over the next year. If the dividend continues on this path, the payout ratio could be 62% by next year, which we think can be pretty sustainable going forward. The company has an extended history of paying stable dividends. The dividend has gone from an annual total of CHF7.50 in 2015 to the most recent total annual payment of CHF12.80. This means that it has been growing its distributions at 5.5% per annum over that time. The dividend has been growing very nicely for a number of years, and has given its shareholders some nice income in their portfolios. Investors who have held shares in the company for the past few years will be happy with the dividend income they have received. Although it's important to note that Geberit's earnings per share has basically not grown from where it was five years ago, which could erode the purchasing power of the dividend over time. Slow growth and a high payout ratio could mean that Geberit has maxed out the amount that it has been able to pay to shareholders. When a company prefers to pay out cash to its shareholders instead of reinvesting it, this can often say a lot about that company's dividend prospects. Overall, a dividend increase is always good, and we think that Geberit is a strong income stock thanks to its track record and growing earnings. Earnings are easily covering distributions, and the company is generating plenty of cash. All in all, this checks a lot of the boxes we look for when choosing an income stock. Investors generally tend to favour companies with a consistent, stable dividend policy as opposed to those operating an irregular one. However, there are other things to consider for investors when analysing stock performance. Taking the debate a bit further, we've identified 1 warning sign for Geberit that investors need to be conscious of moving forward.
