Dividend Yield: 6.7%
James Latham offers a dividend yield of 6.72%, placing it in the top 25% of UK dividend payers. The company has a history of reliable and stable dividend payments over the past decade, with dividends growing consistently. However, its high cash payout ratio (107%) indicates that dividends are not well covered by free cash flows, raising concerns about sustainability. Recent earnings showed a decline in net income to £10.16 million for the half year ended September 2024, compared to £12.37 million previously.

Dividend Yield: 6.5%
Conduit Holdings offers a dividend yield of 6.45%, ranking it among the top 25% of UK dividend payers. Despite its attractive yield, the company has an unstable and volatile dividend track record over the past three years. Dividends are well covered by earnings (27.2% payout ratio) and cash flows (15.9% cash payout ratio), suggesting sustainability in payments despite their unreliability. The stock trades at a favorable value with a low price-to-earnings ratio of 4.2x compared to the UK market average of 16x.
