Dividend Yield: 7.0%
Ninety One Group's dividend payments have been stable and growing over the past four years, supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 66.8% from earnings and 65.3% from free cash flows. Although the company has a relatively short dividend history, its current yield of 7.05% places it in the top 25% of UK dividend payers. However, trading at 18.7% below estimated fair value suggests potential for price appreciation alongside income generation for investors.
