Eurocell (LSE:ECEL)

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

Overview: Eurocell plc operates in the manufacture, distribution, and recycling of PVC building products such as windows, doors, and roofline items across the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland with a market cap of £125.37 million.

Operations: Eurocell plc generates its revenue primarily from two segments: Profiles, contributing £208.80 million, and Building Plastics, contributing £211.40 million.

Dividend Yield: 4.9%

Eurocell's dividend payments have shown volatility over the past decade, despite recent growth. With a cash payout ratio of 21.6%, dividends are well covered by cash flows, though earnings coverage is tighter at an 83.1% payout ratio. The dividend yield of 4.9% lags behind top-tier UK payers but remains attractive given Eurocell trades below estimated fair value. Recent executive changes may impact future financial strategies as Will Truman transitions to CFO in early 2026.

• Our valuation report unveils the possibility Eurocell's shares may be trading at a discount.

Howden Joinery Group (LSE:HWDN)

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

Overview: Howden Joinery Group Plc supplies kitchen, joinery, and hardware products across the United Kingdom, France, Belgium, and the Republic of Ireland with a market cap of £4.49 billion.

Operations: The primary revenue segment for Howden Joinery Group Plc is Howden Joinery, generating £2.35 billion.

Dividend Yield: 3.2%

Howden Joinery Group's dividends are well supported by both earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 45.8% and 34.9%, respectively. Despite a history of increasing dividends over the past decade, payments have been volatile and unreliable, impacting sustainability perceptions. The current yield of 3.16% is below top-tier UK dividend payers but remains competitive given its solid coverage by financial metrics, albeit with potential concerns about future consistency due to past volatility.

SThree (LSE:STEM)

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

Overview: SThree plc is a specialist recruitment firm operating in the sciences, technology, engineering, and mathematics sectors across multiple countries including the UK, Europe, the US, and parts of Asia with a market cap of £240.88 million.

Operations: SThree plc's revenue segments are comprised of £285.13 million from the USA, £422.24 million from DACH, £320.10 million from the Rest of Europe, £40.00 million from the Middle East & Asia, and £310.85 million from the Netherlands (including Spain).

Dividend Yield: 7.5%

SThree offers a high dividend yield of 7.54%, placing it among the top UK dividend payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to poor cash flow coverage and volatile payment history. While dividends are covered by earnings with a payout ratio of 65.1%, the high cash payout ratio (147.9%) raises concerns. The stock trades at a favorable price-to-earnings ratio compared to the market, though declining profit margins and forecasted earnings contraction suggest caution for investors prioritizing stability.

• Our comprehensive valuation report raises the possibility that SThree is priced lower than what may be justified by its financials.
