Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Macfarlane Group PLC, valued at £161.71 million, specializes in designing, manufacturing, and distributing protective packaging products across the UK and Europe through its subsidiaries.
Operations: The company earns primarily from Packaging Distribution (£228.76 million) and Manufacturing Operations (£47.46 million).
Dividend Yield: 3.6%
Macfarlane Group’s 3.61% dividend yield is lower than leading UK payers, yet its payout ratios signal solid earnings coverage (37.5%) and cash flow (25.9%). Despite experiencing volatility, dividends have risen over the last decade, with a proposed 2% increase for 2024. The company’s stock trades significantly below its estimated fair value, despite recent insider selling. The latest earnings report showed modest growth, with net income up to £15.53 million from £14.97 million in 2023.
