Let’s take a closer look at a couple of our picks from the screened companies.

BTG Consulting

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

Overview: BTG Consulting plc offers business recovery, financial advisory, and property services consultancy in the United Kingdom with a market cap of £189.90 million.

Operations: BTG Consulting plc generates its revenue from two primary segments: £111.40 million from Business Recovery and Advisory, and £48 million from Property Advisory services in the United Kingdom.

Dividend Yield: 3.7%

BTG Consulting, formerly Begbies Traynor Group plc, maintains a solid dividend profile with a 7% increase in interim dividends to 1.5 pence per share, marking eight consecutive years of growth. Despite trading at a significant discount to its estimated fair value and below analyst price targets, BTG’s dividends remain well-covered by earnings (payout ratio: 70.9%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio: 70.1%). However, its yield of 3.73% is lower than the top UK dividend payers.

AIM:BTG Dividend History as at Feb 2026

Admiral Group

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

Overview: Admiral Group plc is a financial services company offering insurance and personal lending products across the UK, France, Italy, Spain, and the US with a market cap of £8.47 billion.

Operations: Admiral Group plc generates revenue primarily from its UK Insurance segment (£4.33 billion) and Admiral Money (£20.10 million).

Dividend Yield: 8.4%

Admiral Group’s dividend yield of 8.44% ranks in the top 25% among UK dividend payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 248%, indicating dividends are not well-covered by free cash flows. Despite a reasonable earnings payout ratio of 65.1%, dividends have been volatile over the past decade with periods of decline exceeding 20%. Recent leadership changes include Rachel Lewis succeeding Geraint Jones as CFO in July 2026, potentially impacting future financial strategies.

LSE:ADM Dividend History as at Feb 2026

Hilton Food Group

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

Overview: Hilton Food Group plc operates in the food packing industry through its subsidiaries and has a market capitalization of £456.08 million.

Operations: Hilton Food Group plc generates its revenue primarily from three segments: £1.50 billion from APAC, £1.09 billion from Europe, and £1.59 billion from the UK & Ireland.

Dividend Yield: 6.9%

Hilton Food Group’s dividend yield of 6.9% is among the top 25% in the UK, but its sustainability is challenged by a lack of free cash flows to cover payments. The payout ratio stands at 80.3%, suggesting earnings coverage, yet past dividends have been volatile with significant drops over ten years. Recent executive changes include Samy Zekhout as COO for the West region and Melanie Chambers for the East, potentially influencing operational strategies across key markets.
