ME Group International (LSE:MEGP)

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

Overview: ME Group International plc is a UK-based company specializing in the operation, sale, and servicing of instant-service equipment with a market capitalization of approximately £613.02 million.

Operations: ME Group International plc generates £297.66 million in revenue from its personal services segment.

Dividend Yield: 4.5%

ME Group International's recent earnings show growth, with sales up to £297.66 million and net income at £50.67 million. The firm announced a final dividend of 4.42 pence per share, totaling 7.39 pence annually (£27.9 million), indicating confidence in future revenue and earnings growth for 2024 despite a volatile macro environment. However, the dividend yield is below the UK market's top quartile at 4.53%, reflecting past volatility in payouts despite a reasonable payout ratio of 55.2%. Analysts expect the stock price to increase by 24.3%, suggesting potential undervaluation relative to its fair value estimate which is trading at a significant discount of 60%.

Kaspi.kz (LSE:KSPI)

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

Overview: Joint Stock Company Kaspi.kz operates as a digital platform in Kazakhstan offering payment solutions, an online marketplace, and various fintech services through its mobile app, with a market cap of approximately $19.88 billion.

Operations: Kaspi.kz generates its revenue primarily from fintech services with ₸1.03 billion, followed by payments at ₸478.68 million, and its marketplace segment contributing ₸448.22 million.

Dividend Yield: 7.2%

Kaspi.kz reported a robust year with revenue reaching KZT 1.91 billion and net income at KZT 848.77 million, signaling potential for sustainable dividends, proposed at 850 KZT per share. Despite a solid dividend yield of 7.24%, above the UK market average, its dividend history is marked by inconsistency over the past four years. The company's delisting from the London Stock Exchange to concentrate on Nasdaq trading may affect UK-based investors' accessibility but reflects strategic shifts following its recent U.S IPO and NASDAQ Composite Index inclusion.

Wilmington (LSE:WIL)

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

Overview: Wilmington plc is a company that specializes in delivering information, data, training, and education solutions to professional markets across the UK, Europe, North America, and other global regions with a market capitalization of approximately £317.59 million.

Operations: Wilmington plc generates its revenue through two primary segments: Intelligence, which contributes £57.86 million, and Training & Education, accounting for £67.13 million.

Dividend Yield: 2.9%

Wilmington's recent earnings report showed a dip in net income to £7.12 million and a decrease in basic EPS, yet it maintains a dividend, recently declared at £0.03 per share. The dividend yield stands at 2.89%, below the UK market's top quartile, and past payments have shown volatility, casting doubt on stability. However, dividends seem sustainable with coverage by earnings (49.6%) and cash flows (35%), though future growth is uncertain with revenue projected to increase by 6.84% annually without a consistent track record of rising dividends or profits.
