Dividend Yield: 6.4%

Vesuvius offers a dividend yield of 6.38%, placing it in the top 25% of UK dividend payers. Despite this, its dividends have been unreliable over the past decade due to volatility, with drops exceeding 20% annually at times. However, current dividends are well-covered by both earnings and cash flows, each with a payout ratio around 59.8%. Trading significantly below estimated fair value suggests potential for capital appreciation alongside income generation.
