Shoe Zone (AIM:SHOE)

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

Overview: Shoe Zone plc is a UK-based footwear retailer with a market capitalization of approximately £80.90 million.

Operations: Shoe Zone plc generates its revenue primarily through its footwear retailing activities, totaling £166.74 million.

Dividend Yield: 9.9%

Shoe Zone plc recently confirmed an interim dividend of 2.5 pence per share, payable on 14 August 2024, demonstrating a commitment to shareholder returns despite its unstable dividend history and forecasted earnings decline of 18.4% annually over the next three years. The dividends are well-covered by both earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios at 35.8% and 30%, respectively. However, the company's dividend track record is marred by volatility and a short history of less than ten years in consistent payouts.

Despite this progress and a competitive price-to-earnings ratio of 10.5x below the UK market average, the trust's dividend history remains relatively unstable with significant fluctuations over its short five-year payout period.

Dividend Yield: 4.4%

Morgan Sindall Group plc has demonstrated a mixed track record in dividend reliability, with payments showing volatility over the past decade despite recent increases, including a final dividend of 78 pence for 2023 approved at their AGM on May 2, 2024. The dividends are moderately covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 44.8% and 29.1% respectively. However, its dividend yield of 4.43% trails behind the top UK payers.
