Despite this, recent improvements show dividends are well-covered by earnings (payout ratio of 69%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio of 45.4%). The dividend yield at 3.69% is below the top UK payers' average but remains sustainable given current financials. Recent trading updates indicate modest revenue growth in Aerospace and Energy sectors, despite challenges in Industrial Markets and Automotive.
