Wynnstay Group
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Wynnstay Group Plc manufactures and supplies agricultural products and services in the United Kingdom, with a market cap of £74.90 million.
Operations: Wynnstay Group Plc generates revenue through its segments of Feed & Grain (£353.26 million), Fertiliser & Seed (£119.71 million), and Depots Merchanting (£140.08 million) in the United Kingdom.
Dividend Yield: 5.4%
Wynnstay Group has consistently increased its dividends over the past decade, though its current payout ratio of 144.5% suggests dividends are not well covered by earnings. Despite this, a low cash payout ratio of 23.8% indicates strong coverage by cash flows. Recent board changes could influence strategic direction, while profit margins have decreased to 0.5%. The dividend yield of 5.38% is below the top UK payers, but stability remains a positive aspect for investors seeking consistent income.
