Vertu Motors
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Vertu Motors plc is an automotive retailer in the United Kingdom with a market cap of £196.53 million.
Operations: The company generates revenue from its operations in the United Kingdom primarily through its Retail - Gasoline & Auto Dealers segment, which accounts for £4.79 billion.
Dividend Yield: 4%
Vertu Motors' dividend payments have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade, despite a low payout ratio of 41.8% and cash payout ratio of 17.6%, indicating dividends are well covered by earnings and cash flows. The company's recent buyback program, funded with existing cash resources, suggests a focus on shareholder returns. However, significant insider selling and declining profit margins could be concerning for dividend stability. Its current yield is below the top tier in the UK market.

Dividend Yield: 5.5%
Ocean Wilsons Holdings offers a stable dividend history with consistent growth over the past decade, supported by a low payout ratio of 48.7% and cash payout ratio of 26.6%, ensuring dividends are well covered by earnings and cash flows. Despite a lower yield of 5.46% compared to top-tier UK payers, its price-to-earnings ratio of 8.9x suggests good value relative to the broader market, while earnings growth remains robust at 32.7% over the past year.
