Let’s take a closer look at a couple of our picks from the screened companies.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Spok Holdings, Inc., through its subsidiary Spok, Inc., offers healthcare communication solutions across various regions including the United States, Europe, Canada, Australia, Asia, and the Middle East with a market cap of $329.98 million.
Operations: Spok Holdings generates revenue primarily through its Clinical Communication and Collaboration Business, which accounted for $139.04 million.
Dividend Yield: 7.6%
Spok Holdings has consistently paid dividends over the past decade, with recent affirmations of a US$0.3125 quarterly dividend. However, its high payout ratio of 159.4% and cash payout ratio of 98.5% suggest dividends are not well covered by earnings or cash flows, raising sustainability concerns despite its top-tier yield of 7.65%. Recent Q1 results show improved revenue and net income, yet the lack of share buybacks may impact future capital allocation strategies.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Weyco Group, Inc. designs, markets, and distributes footwear for men, women, and children across the United States, Canada, Australia, Asia, and South Africa with a market cap of $300.70 million.
Operations: Weyco Group’s revenue is primarily generated through its Wholesale segment at $225.96 million and its Retail segment at $37.55 million.
Dividend Yield: 3.4%
Weyco Group offers a stable dividend yield of 3.41%, with recent increases indicating growth potential. The dividend is well-covered by both earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios at 34.1% and 39.6%, respectively, suggesting sustainability. Despite a lower-than-top-tier yield compared to peers, the company maintains reliable dividends over the past decade. However, recent delisting concerns due to board composition may impact investor confidence until resolved within Nasdaq’s specified timeframe.
