Operations: Hargreaves Services Plc generates its revenue from two main segments: £247.69 million from Services and £20.08 million from Hargreaves Land.
Dividend Yield: 5.8%
Hargreaves Services offers a compelling dividend yield of 5.8%, ranking in the top 25% of UK dividend payers. Despite its attractive yield, the company’s dividends have been unreliable and volatile over the past decade, with significant annual drops exceeding 20%. However, dividends are well-covered by both earnings (payout ratio: 82.5%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio: 47.2%). Earnings have shown strong growth recently, increasing by 20.2% last year.

Dividend Yield: 3%
Morgan Sindall Group’s dividend yield of 3.01% is below the top UK payers, and its dividends have been unreliable and volatile over the past decade. Despite this, dividends are well-covered by earnings (43.1% payout ratio) and cash flows (50.5% cash payout ratio). The company trades at a favorable price-to-earnings ratio of 14.3x compared to the market average, although significant insider selling has occurred recently, and earnings are forecast to decline in the coming years.

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Operations: SThree plc generates revenue from several geographic segments, with the USA contributing £285.13 million, DACH (Germany, Austria, and Switzerland) providing £422.24 million, Rest of Europe accounting for £320.10 million, Middle East & Asia bringing in £40.00 million, and Netherlands (including Spain) adding £310.85 million.
Dividend Yield: 9.1%
SThree’s dividend yield of 9.05% ranks among the top UK payers but has been unreliable and volatile over the past decade. The dividend is covered by earnings with a payout ratio of 65.1%, yet it isn’t well-supported by cash flows, indicated by a high cash payout ratio of 147.9%. Recent trading results show declining net fees (£81.5 million from £92.7 million), reflecting potential challenges in sustaining dividends amid share price volatility and reduced profit margins (2.1% vs 3.5%).
