Hargreaves Services (AIM:HSP)

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

Overview: Hargreaves Services Plc offers environmental and industrial services across the United Kingdom, Southeast Asia, and South Africa with a market cap of £195.46 million.

Operations: Hargreaves Services Plc generates revenue from its Services segment (£206.86 million) and Hargreaves Land segment (£7.04 million).

Dividend Yield: 6.1%

Hargreaves Services' dividend yield of 6.06% places it in the top quartile of UK dividend payers, but its sustainability is questionable with a high payout ratio of 94.8% and volatile dividends over the past decade. Despite recent earnings decline to £12.28 million from £27.92 million, the company announced a substantial final dividend increase to 18 pence per share for 2024, contingent on AGM approval, reflecting improved cash flow management despite lower profit margins.
