Dividend Yield: 3.9%
M.P. Evans Group's dividend payments are well-supported by earnings and cash flows, with a payout ratio of 48.9% and a cash payout ratio of 32.4%. Despite this, the company's dividends have been volatile over the past decade, impacting reliability.

Dividend Yield: 8%
Ninety One Group's dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 67.9% and 55.9%, respectively. However, dividend reliability is a concern due to their short four-year history without growth. The stock is trading below its estimated fair value and offers a top-tier UK dividend yield of 8.02%. Recent share repurchase activities aim to support long-term incentive plans, while leadership changes may influence strategic direction in alternative credit markets.
