Somero Enterprises
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Somero Enterprises, Inc. designs, assembles, remanufactures, sells, and distributes concrete leveling, contouring, and placing equipment with a market cap of £131.30 million.
Operations: Somero Enterprises, Inc. generates revenue of $109.15 million from its construction machinery and equipment segment.
Dividend Yield: 6.5%
Somero Enterprises has faced volatility in its dividend payments over the past decade, although recent increases suggest some growth. The company's dividends are currently covered by earnings, with a payout ratio of 50.1%, and cash flows, with a cash payout ratio of 75.7%. Despite this coverage, the dividend track record remains unstable. Recent changes in leadership and revised revenue guidance to US$105 million for 2025 could impact future performance and dividend reliability.
PageGroup
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: PageGroup plc, along with its subsidiaries, offers recruitment consultancy and related services across the UK, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and the Americas with a market cap of £854.33 million.
Operations: PageGroup plc generates its revenue primarily through recruitment services, amounting to £1.74 billion.
Dividend Yield: 6.2%
PageGroup's dividend yield is among the top in the UK, but its sustainability is questionable due to a high payout ratio of 188.9% and earnings not covering dividends. Although cash flows adequately cover payouts with a 49.3% cash payout ratio, historical volatility raises concerns about reliability. Recent announcements include a proposed final dividend increase and executive changes, potentially affecting future stability. The company's profit margins have decreased, impacting overall financial health despite some dividend growth over the past decade.
