Sanderson Design Group
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Sanderson Design Group plc operates globally, designing, manufacturing, marketing, and distributing interior furnishings, fabrics, and wallpapers with a market capitalization of ￡78.88 million.
Operations: Sanderson Design Group plc generates revenue primarily through three segments: Brands (excluding Licensing) at ￡78.77 million, Manufacturing at ￡35.01 million, and Licensing at ￡10.92 million.
Dividend Yield: 3.2%
Sanderson Design Group's dividend sustainability is moderately secure with a payout ratio of 30.5% and a cash payout ratio of 43%, indicating coverage by both earnings and cash flows. However, the company's dividend history is marked by volatility over the past decade, reflecting inconsistency in payments. Recently, the firm committed to a progressive dividend policy with an upcoming payment proposed at 3.50 pence per share if approved at their AGM in July 2024.
BBGI Global Infrastructure
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: BBGI Global Infrastructure S.A. is an investment firm that focuses on infrastructure investments in operational or near operational assets, with a market capitalization of approximately ￡0.96 billion.
Operations: BBGI Global Infrastructure S.A. generates its revenue primarily from the financial services sector related to closed-end funds, amounting to ￡48.10 million.
Dividend Yield: 5.9%
BBGI Global Infrastructure reported a significant drop in revenue and net income for 2023, with earnings of ￡40.29 million on revenues of ￡49.52 million, down from ￡119.04 million and ￡159.63 million respectively in the previous year. Despite this decline, BBGI has committed to an aggressive share repurchase program authorized to buy back up to 14.99% of its issued capital at prices potentially reaching 105% above market average quotes preceding purchase days. However, the sustainability of its dividend is questionable as it's not well-covered by either earnings or cash flows, with a high payout ratio of 140.6%.
