Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Arbuthnot Banking Group PLC, along with its subsidiaries, offers private and commercial banking products and services in the United Kingdom, with a market cap of £141.45 million.
Operations: Arbuthnot Banking Group PLC generates revenue through several segments, including Wealth Management (£15.21 million), Asset Alliance Group (AAG) (£15.40 million), Renaissance Asset Finance (RAF) (£14.09 million), and Arbuthnot Commercial Asset Based Lending (ACABL) (£20.31 million).
Dividend Yield: 5.6%
Arbuthnot Banking Group’s dividend yield of 5.65% places it among the top 25% of UK dividend payers, supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 50.9%. However, its dividends have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade. Despite a low allowance for bad loans at 17%, high levels of bad loans (3.7%) pose risks. Earnings are forecast to grow modestly at 3.23% annually, but profit margins have decreased from last year’s figures.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
