Overview: Livermore Investments Group Limited is a publicly owned investment manager with a market cap of £89.29 million.
Operations: Livermore Investments Group Limited generates revenue from its Equity and Debt Instruments Investment Activities, amounting to $23.75 million.
Dividend Yield: 6.2%
Livermore Investments Group offers a high dividend yield of 6.25%, placing it in the top 25% of UK dividend payers. Despite its attractive payout ratio of 25.3%, indicating dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, the company's dividend history is unreliable, with volatility and declines over the past decade. Recent earnings growth to $9.67 million suggests potential stability, but historical inconsistency remains a concern for long-term investors.

Dividend Yield: 3.2%
Keller Group's dividend is well-supported by earnings and cash flow, with payout ratios of 27.6% and 18.1%, respectively, ensuring sustainability. Although offering a reliable yield of 3.24%, it falls short compared to the top UK dividend payers. The company's dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, reflecting consistent performance. Recent board changes include Carl-Peter Forster's appointment as Chair-designate, potentially influencing future strategic direction in sustainability initiatives.
