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

Overview: Carlton Investments Limited is a publicly owned asset management holding company with a market cap of approximately A$990.27 million.

Dividend Yield: 3%

Carlton Investments recently declared fully franked dividends of A$0.68 per ordinary share, payable on September 17, 2025. The company's dividend payments are covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 77% and 75.7%, respectively. However, its dividend yield of 3.01% is low compared to top-tier Australian payers, and past volatility raises concerns about reliability despite consistent increases over the last decade. Earnings have shown modest growth recently, supporting current payouts.

Northern Star Resources announced an ordinary dividend of A$0.30 per share for the six-month period ending June 30, 2025. Despite a low yield of 3.23% compared to top-tier Australian dividend stocks, dividends have been stable over the past decade. Earnings cover dividends with a payout ratio of 48.8%, yet high cash payout ratios indicate coverage issues by free cash flow. Recent earnings growth and increased sales to A$6.41 billion enhance potential for future dividends despite shareholder dilution concerns last year.
