B.P. Marsh & Partners (AIM:BPM)

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

Overview: B.P. Marsh & Partners PLC invests in early-stage and SME financial services intermediary businesses both in the United Kingdom and internationally, with a market cap of £250.49 million.

Operations: B.P. Marsh & Partners PLC generates revenue of £115.24 million from providing consultancy services and trading investments in financial services.

Dividend Yield: 3.1%

B.P. Marsh & Partners' dividends are well covered by both earnings and cash flows, with low payout ratios of 5% and 23.4%, respectively. However, its dividend history is marked by volatility and unreliability over the past decade, despite recent growth in payments. The dividend yield of 3.12% is below the top tier in the UK market. Recent equity offerings totaling £23.57 million could impact future dividend stability or growth prospects due to potential dilution effects on earnings per share.

Admiral Group (LSE:ADM)

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

Overview: Admiral Group plc is a financial services company offering insurance and personal lending products across the UK, France, Italy, Spain, and the US with a market cap of £10.07 billion.

Operations: Admiral Group plc generates revenue primarily from its UK Insurance segment (£4.33 billion) and Admiral Money (£20.10 million).

Dividend Yield: 7.1%

Admiral Group's dividend yield of 7.1% ranks in the top quartile among UK payers, yet its dividends have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade. Despite a reasonable payout ratio of 65.1%, high cash payout ratios indicate dividends are not well covered by cash flows, raising sustainability concerns. Recent earnings growth—net income increased to £401 million for H1 2025—offers some optimism, although future earnings are forecasted to decline slightly.

Operations: MJ Gleeson plc generates revenue from its operations in the United Kingdom through two main segments: Gleeson Homes, contributing £343.33 million, and Gleeson Land, contributing £8.40 million.

Dividend Yield: 3.2%

MJ Gleeson's dividend payments have grown over the past decade but remain volatile and unreliable. With a payout ratio of 38.8%, dividends are well covered by earnings, though cash flow coverage is less robust at 79.2%. The stock trades at a favorable price-to-earnings ratio of 12.1x compared to the UK market average, suggesting good relative value. Recent guidance projects profit before tax for fiscal year 2025 within market expectations, despite leadership changes in July 2025.
