Midwich Group (AIM:MIDW)

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

Overview: Midwich Group plc, along with its subsidiaries, distributes audio visual solutions to trade customers across various regions including the United Kingdom, Ireland, Europe, the Middle East, Africa, Asia Pacific, and North America; it has a market cap of £288.52 million.

Operations: Midwich Group plc's revenue is primarily generated from its wholesale segment in computer peripherals, amounting to £1.32 billion.

Dividend Yield: 5.9%

Midwich Group's dividend payments are well covered by both earnings and cash flows, with a payout ratio of 74.6% and a cash payout ratio of 36.3%. Despite its high dividend yield ranking in the top 25% in the UK market, the company's dividends have been volatile over its eight-year history. Recent guidance suggests marginal revenue growth amid challenging market conditions, supported by cost reductions to improve profit margins. However, Midwich carries a high level of debt.
