Despite its low dividend yield of 4.56% compared to the UK market's top quartile, the company has shown consistency in its dividend payments over the past decade, with increases noted annually.

Dividend Yield: 6.6%
Castings P.L.C. has increased its total annual dividend to ￡0.1832 per share, up 5.6% from last year, and declared a special dividend of ￡0.07 per share due to a strong cash position. Despite this growth, dividends are not fully covered by free cash flows or earnings, with a high cash payout ratio of 100.4%. The company's dividends have been reliable over the past decade but face sustainability challenges amid forecasted earnings declines of 5.8% annually over the next three years.
