Morgan Sindall Group (LSE:MGNS)

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

Overview: Morgan Sindall Group plc operates as a construction and regeneration company in the United Kingdom with a market cap of £1.45 billion.

Operations: Morgan Sindall Group plc generates revenue from several segments, including Fit Out (£1.24 billion), Construction (£1.02 billion), Infrastructure (£989.20 million), Property Services (£191.80 million), Urban Regeneration (£148.40 million), and Partnership Housing (£845.20 million).

Dividend Yield: 3.9%

Morgan Sindall Group has demonstrated a volatile dividend track record over the past decade, with payments experiencing significant fluctuations. Despite this, the company's dividends are well-covered by both earnings (44.7% payout ratio) and free cash flows (33.4% cash payout ratio). Recent earnings growth of 93.1% and a 15% increase in the interim dividend to 41.5 pence per share suggest positive momentum. However, its current yield of 3.88% remains below the UK's top quartile payers at 5.48%.

Dividend Yield: 4.1%

Pets at Home Group offers a stable dividend yield of 4.14%, though it falls short of the UK's top quartile payers at 5.48%. Over the past decade, its dividends have been reliable and growing, supported by a sustainable payout ratio of 77.2% from earnings and a low cash payout ratio of 36.2%. Recent revenue growth was modest at £441.1 million, with like-for-like revenue up just 0.5%, but the company affirmed an annual dividend of 8.3 pence per share in July's AGM.
