Overview: Morgan Sindall Group plc is a UK-based construction and regeneration company with a market cap of £1.80 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.4%

Morgan Sindall Group's dividend payments have increased over the past decade, supported by a low payout ratio of 46.7%, indicating strong earnings coverage. However, dividends have been volatile with significant annual drops. The recent approval of a final dividend of £0.90 per share reflects ongoing shareholder returns despite instability in payment history. The company's price-to-earnings ratio of 13.6x suggests good value relative to the UK market average, although its yield is lower than top-tier UK dividend payers.
