Dividend Yield: 8.4%
Somero Enterprises offers a high dividend yield of 8.4%, placing it in the top 25% of UK dividend payers. However, its dividends have been unreliable and volatile over the past decade, with payouts not fully covered by cash flows due to a high cash payout ratio of 97.4%. Despite this, earnings cover the dividends well with a payout ratio of 49.6%. Recent leadership changes could impact future stability and strategy execution.

Operations: Anglo-Eastern Plantations generates revenue of $364.23 million from its cultivation of plantation activities in Indonesia and Malaysia.
Dividend Yield: 3.6%
Anglo-Eastern Plantations' dividend payments have grown over the past decade but remain volatile and unreliable. The dividend yield of 3.57% is below the top UK payers, yet dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 10.7% and 24.4%, respectively. Trading significantly below estimated fair value, it presents a potential value opportunity despite an unstable track record. Recent leadership changes may influence future strategic directions.
