Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Anglo-Eastern Plantations Plc, with a market cap of £245.62 million, owns, operates, and develops agriculture plantations in Indonesia and Malaysia.
Operations: Anglo-Eastern Plantations generates its revenue primarily from the cultivation of plantations, amounting to $364.23 million.
Dividend Yield: 4%
Anglo-Eastern Plantations has a low dividend yield of 3.95%, underperforming compared to top UK dividend payers. Despite a history of volatility and instability in its dividends, the company's payout ratios indicate strong coverage by both earnings (10.7%) and cash flows (24.4%). Recent executive changes may impact governance, but with shares trading significantly below estimated fair value, there could be potential for capital appreciation alongside dividend income.

Operations: Man Group Limited generates revenue of $1.40 billion from its Investment Management Business segment.
Dividend Yield: 6.3%
Man Group offers a dividend yield of 6.27%, placing it among the top 25% of UK dividend payers. Despite past volatility, its dividends are well covered by earnings (60.3% payout ratio) and cash flows (46.3% cash payout ratio). The stock trades at a significant discount to its estimated fair value, suggesting potential for capital appreciation. However, investors should be cautious due to the company's unstable dividend history over the last decade.
