Dividend Yield: 6.4%
Hargreaves Services offers a dividend yield of 6.42%, placing it in the top 25% of UK dividend payers, yet its dividends are not fully covered by cash flows, indicating potential sustainability issues. Despite a history of volatility and unreliable growth in dividends over the past decade, recent earnings have improved significantly with net income rising to £3.99 million for the half year ended November 2024. An interim dividend increase to 18.5 pence reflects cautious optimism amidst executive changes aimed at enhancing value creation within its services unit.
