Next 15 Group (AIM:NFG)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Next 15 Group plc, with a market cap of £313.78 million, operates as a communications services provider across the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, the United States, and the Asia Pacific.
Operations: Next 15 Group plc generates revenue through its communications services offered across various regions including the United Kingdom, Europe, Africa, the United States, and the Asia Pacific.
Dividend Yield: 4.9%
Next 15 Group's dividend payments, while covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 25.2% and 23.3% respectively, have been volatile over the past decade. Despite trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value and offering a dividend yield of 4.87%, its high debt levels and forecasted earnings decline raise concerns about sustainability. Recent profit growth by £132 million may not offset these risks for dividend stability in the future.

Vertu Motors (AIM:VTU)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Vertu Motors plc is an automotive retailer in the United Kingdom with a market cap of £170.58 million.
Operations: Vertu Motors plc generates revenue primarily from its Retail - Gasoline & Auto Dealers segment, which accounts for £4.79 billion.
Dividend Yield: 4.6%
Vertu Motors' dividend payments, though covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 41.8% and 17.4% respectively, have been volatile over the past decade. The recent £12 million share buyback program could enhance shareholder value but may not address concerns about its unstable dividend history. With a price-to-earnings ratio of 8.9x, it trades below the UK market average, yet its dividend yield of 4.57% lags behind top-tier payers in the region.
