Australian United Investment (ASX:AUI)

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Australian United Investment Company Limited (ASX:AUI) is a publicly owned investment manager with a market cap of A$1.28 billion.

Operations: Australian United Investment Company Limited generates revenue of A$58.33 million from its investment activities.

Dividend Yield: 3.6%

Australian United Investment's dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, though the current yield of 3.57% is below top-tier Australian dividend payers. The high payout ratio of 92.4% indicates dividends are not well covered by earnings, but a cash payout ratio of 86.7% shows coverage by cash flows is adequate. Recent news includes an extension of its buyback plan until May 29, 2025, potentially impacting future dividend sustainability.
