Bioventix
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Bioventix PLC is a company that specializes in the creation, manufacture, and supply of sheep monoclonal antibodies for diagnostic applications globally, with a market cap of £125.27 million.
Operations: Bioventix PLC generates revenue primarily from its biotechnology segment, amounting to £13.66 million.
Dividend Yield: 6.5%
Bioventix recently announced a 3% increase in its interim dividend to 70 pence per share, reflecting its commitment to rewarding shareholders despite earnings challenges. However, the dividend's sustainability is questionable due to a high payout ratio of 104.5% and cash payout ratio of 107.7%, indicating it's not well covered by earnings or free cash flows. While dividends have grown steadily over the past decade, their coverage remains concerning for long-term reliability.
Capital
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Capital Limited, along with its subsidiaries, offers a range of drilling solutions to the minerals industry and has a market cap of £120.50 million.
Operations: Capital Limited generates revenue primarily from its Business Services segment, which amounts to $348 million.
Dividend Yield: 3.3%
Capital Limited's recent mining services contract with Reko Diq Mining Pakistan Limited is a significant development, potentially boosting long-term revenue. However, for dividend investors, the picture is mixed. The proposed final dividend for 2024 has halved compared to the previous year, reflecting volatility in dividend payments over the past decade. Despite this, dividends are well covered by earnings and cash flows due to low payout ratios. The company's share price has been highly volatile recently.
