Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: James Halstead plc manufactures and supplies flooring products for both commercial and domestic uses across the United Kingdom, Europe, Scandinavia, Australasia, Asia, and other international markets with a market cap of £616.84 million.
Operations: The company’s revenue is derived entirely from the manufacture and distribution of flooring products, totaling £268.52 million.
Dividend Yield: 5.7%
James Halstead’s dividend payments have consistently grown over the past decade with minimal volatility, placing its yield in the top 25% of UK dividend payers. However, a high cash payout ratio of 95% indicates dividends are not well covered by free cash flows, despite being covered by earnings at an 86% payout ratio. Recent guidance suggests sales and profit will be slightly below last year but within market expectations, supported by a strong ungeared balance sheet.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Howden Joinery Group Plc supplies kitchen, joinery, and hardware products in the UK, France, Belgium, and the Republic of Ireland with a market cap of £4.44 billion.
Operations: Howden Joinery Group Plc generates its revenue primarily from the Howden Joinery segment, which accounts for £2.32 billion.
Dividend Yield: 3.2%
Howden Joinery Group’s dividends are well covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 46.5% and 51.3%, respectively. Despite a history of volatility, dividends have increased over the past decade, including a recent 2% rise in interim dividends for 2025 to 5 pence per share. The dividend yield is relatively low at 3.22%, compared to top UK payers, but the stock trades below its estimated fair value by 13.3%.
