Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Admiral Group plc is a financial services company offering insurance and personal lending products in the UK, France, Italy, and Spain with a market cap of £9.81 billion.
Operations: Admiral Group plc generates revenue primarily from UK Insurance (£4.46 billion), European Insurance (£656.70 million), and Admiral Money (£25.80 million).
Dividend Yield: 6.4%
Admiral Group’s dividend yield of 6.38% places it in the top 25% of UK dividend payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 172.7%. Despite earnings coverage with a reasonable payout ratio of 64.2%, dividends are not well-covered by free cash flows, indicating potential risks for income-focused investors. Recent earnings growth and a proposed dividend decrease to 90 pence per share reflect ongoing financial adjustments amidst executive changes.
LSE:ADM Dividend History as at Apr 2026
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Conduit Holdings Limited, with a market cap of £642.94 million, operates through its subsidiary to offer reinsurance products and services across the United States, Europe, and globally.
Operations: Conduit Holdings Limited generates revenue from its reinsurance operations through three main segments: Casualty ($221.30 million), Property ($359.30 million), and Specialty ($120.20 million).
Dividend Yield: 6.4%
Conduit Holdings offers a compelling dividend yield of 6.36%, ranking it in the top 25% of UK dividend payers, with dividends well-covered by earnings (payout ratio: 48.3%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio: 15%). However, its short five-year history of unstable and volatile dividends may concern income-focused investors. Recent board changes, including new non-executive directors with extensive industry experience, could influence future strategic direction and governance stability.
LSE:CRE Dividend History as at Apr 2026
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Lloyds Banking Group plc, along with its subsidiaries, offers a variety of banking and financial products and services to retail and commercial customers in the United Kingdom, with a market cap of approximately £57.33 billion.
Operations: Lloyds Banking Group generates revenue from several key segments: Retail (including Wealth) at £11.54 billion, Insurance, Pensions and Investments at £1.28 billion, Equity Investments and Central Items at £708 million, and Commercial Banking (excluding Credit Cards) at £5.44 billion.
Dividend Yield: 3.7%
Lloyds Banking Group’s dividends have increased over the past decade but remain volatile, with a current yield of 3.73%, below the top UK dividend payers. The payout ratio is sustainable at 52.1% and expected to improve to 38.8% in three years, indicating strong coverage by earnings. Recent strategic moves include a £1.75 billion share buyback program and debt redemption activities, reflecting efforts to optimize capital structure amidst significant insider selling recently observed.
