Overview: Bunzl plc is a distribution and services company operating in North America, Continental Europe, the United Kingdom, Ireland, and internationally with a market cap of £7.87 billion.
Operations: Bunzl plc generates revenue of £11.78 billion from its Packaging & Containers segment.
Dividend Yield: 3.1%
Bunzl's dividend payments have shown volatility over the past decade, with a recent increase of 8.2% in total dividends for 2024, marking its 32nd consecutive year of growth. Despite a low dividend yield compared to top UK payers, the payouts are well-covered by earnings and cash flows. However, Bunzl's high debt level and volatile share price may raise concerns about sustainability. The company expects moderate revenue growth in 2025 driven by acquisitions.

Man Group's dividend yield is among the top 25% in the UK market, supported by a payout ratio of 67% and a cash payout ratio of 32.3%, indicating sustainability. Despite past volatility, dividends have grown over the last decade. Recent earnings growth of 27.4% enhances its appeal, though potential acquisitions like Bardin Hill could impact future payouts. The stock trades at a significant discount to estimated fair value, offering good relative value for investors focused on dividends.
