Macquarie Group (ASX:MQG)

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

Overview: Macquarie Group Limited is a global provider of diversified financial services operating across various regions including Australia, the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and the Asia Pacific with a market cap of A$76.09 billion.

Operations: Macquarie Group Limited's revenue is primarily derived from its Commodities and Global Markets segment (A$6.29 billion), followed by Macquarie Asset Management (A$4.00 billion), Banking and Financial Services (A$3.19 billion), Macquarie Capital (A$2.54 billion), and Corporate activities (A$1.19 billion).

Dividend Yield: 3.1%

Macquarie Group's dividend reliability is mixed due to volatile payments over the past decade, though dividends are currently covered by earnings with a payout ratio of 66.3%. Recent M&A activity includes the sale of its Stride Climate Investments platform for $325 million, potentially impacting future cash flows. The company has issued several fixed-income offerings totaling €700 million and $150 million, indicating active capital management but also reliance on higher-risk funding sources.

Perenti (ASX:PRN)

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

Overview: Perenti Limited is a global mining services company with a market capitalization of A$1.20 billion.

Operations: Perenti Limited generates its revenue from Drilling Services (A$750.65 million), Contract Mining Services (A$2.50 billion), and Mining Services and Idoba (A$229.77 million).

Dividend Yield: 6.2%

Perenti's recent dividend increase to 3.0 cents per share reflects confidence in its cash generation despite a volatile dividend history and a payout ratio of 76%. While earnings coverage is adequate, net income has declined to A$56.28 million from A$78.5 million year-on-year, affecting profit margins. The dividend yield of 6.25% is slightly below top-tier Australian payers, but with a cash payout ratio of 46.6%, dividends are well-supported by cash flows, though past volatility raises concerns about sustainability.
