Shoe Zone

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

Overview: Shoe Zone plc operates as a footwear retailer in the United Kingdom, with a market cap of ￡82.05 million.

Operations: Shoe Zone plc generates ￡166.74 million in revenue from its footwear retail operations in the United Kingdom.

Dividend Yield: 9.8%

Shoe Zone's dividend payments are well covered by both earnings (35.8% payout ratio) and cash flows (30% cash payout ratio). Despite a volatile dividend track record over the past 10 years, recent growth in earnings by 50.2% and a high yield of 9.8%, placing it in the top 25% of UK dividend payers, make it attractive. However, future earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 37.2% per year for the next three years, raising concerns about sustainability.

Dividend Yield: 9.7%

Burberry Group's dividend yield of 9.74% ranks in the top 25% of UK dividend payers. However, its dividends have been volatile over the past decade, with significant annual drops exceeding 20%. Despite this, the current payout ratios—82.5% for earnings and 73% for cash flows—indicate coverage by both metrics.
