Big Yellow Group
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Big Yellow Group, a leading self-storage provider in the UK, operates with a market capitalization of approximately £2.23 billion.
Operations: Big Yellow Group generates its revenue primarily through the provision of self-storage and related services, totaling £194.58 million.
Dividend Yield: 4%
Big Yellow Group maintains a stable dividend, with a yield of 3.98%, supported by a payout ratio of 75.9% from earnings and 82.1% from cash flows, indicating sustainability. Despite its dividends growing over the past decade, the current yield is modest compared to top UK dividend payers. The company's Price-To-Earnings ratio at 11.9x is favorable against the broader UK market average of 16.5x, but future earnings are expected to decline by an average of 4.1% annually over the next three years.
Mears Group
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Mears Group plc operates in the United Kingdom, offering outsourced services to both public and private sectors, with a market capitalization of approximately £369.89 million.
Operations: Mears Group plc generates revenue primarily through three segments: Management (£543.35 million), Development (£2.70 million), and Maintenance (£543.28 million).
Dividend Yield: 3.3%
Mears Group's dividend profile is mixed, with a history of both growth and volatility over the past decade. The company's Price-To-Earnings ratio stands at 10.7x, below the UK market average of 16.5x, indicating potential value. Dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 39.5% and 11.3%, respectively. However, its dividend yield at 3.31% trails behind the top quartile in the UK market (5.82%). Recent financials show an increase in sales to £1.09 billion and net income to £35.2 million for FY2023, alongside a proposed dividend increase reflecting confidence in future prospects.
Morgan Sindall Group
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Morgan Sindall Group plc is a UK-based construction and regeneration company with a market capitalization of approximately £1.12 billion.
Operations: Morgan Sindall Group plc generates its revenue from several key segments: Fit Out (£1.11 billion), Construction (£966.60 million), Infrastructure (£886.70 million), Partnership Housing (£837.50 million), Urban Regeneration (£185.30 million), and Property Services (£185.20 million).
Dividend Yield: 4.7%
Morgan Sindall Group's recent performance and dividend strategy demonstrate both strengths and challenges. The company reported a significant rise in sales to £4.12 billion and net income to £117.7 million for FY2023, supporting a 15% increase in its final dividend to 78 pence per share. Despite this growth, the dividends have shown volatility over the past decade, with an unreliable track record that could concern conservative investors seeking stable returns. However, with a payout ratio of 44.8% and cash payout ratio of 29.1%, dividends are well-covered by both earnings and cash flows, suggesting sustainability from a financial perspective.
