Property Franchise Group (AIM:TPFG)

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

Overview: The Property Franchise Group PLC, operating in the United Kingdom, manages residential real estate properties with a market capitalization of approximately £236.85 million.

Operations: The Property Franchise Group PLC generates its revenue primarily from two segments: Financial Services (£1.50 million) and Property Franchising (£25.78 million).

Dividend Yield: 3.2%

Property Franchise Group's dividend history shows a mix of strengths and concerns. While the company has increased its dividend payments over the past decade, these payments have been volatile, with significant annual fluctuations. The dividends are well-covered by earnings, with a payout ratio of 52.2%, and reasonably covered by cash flows at 85.4%. However, TPFG’s dividend yield stands at 3.16%, which is low relative to the top UK dividend payers' average of 5.78%. Additionally, recent financials indicate slight growth in sales and net income year-over-year for 2023, suggesting some level of earnings stability despite past dividend inconsistencies.

Kaspi.kz (LSE:KSPI)

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

Overview: Joint Stock Company Kaspi.kz operates in the Republic of Kazakhstan, offering payments, marketplace, and fintech solutions to consumers and merchants, with a market capitalization of approximately $22.83 billion.

Operations: Kaspi.kz generates revenue primarily through three segments: fintech (₸1.03 billion), payments (₸0.48 billion), and marketplace (₸0.45 billion).

Dividend Yield: 6.3%

Kaspi.kz has shown a robust increase in earnings, with a notable 43.8% growth over the past year and projections for continued expansion at 16.98% annually. Despite this strong earnings performance, the company's dividend history is marked by instability; it has only been paying dividends for four years with fluctuating payments. However, its current dividend yield of 6.27% is competitive, standing above the UK market average of 6.08%. Dividends are well-supported by both earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 72.2% and 61%, respectively. Recent corporate actions include an approved dividend payment at its AGM on April 8, 2024, but investors should note Kaspi.kz’s delisting from the London Stock Exchange as of March 25, which may affect liquidity and accessibility for some investors.
