Let's explore several standout options from the results in the screener.
Multitude
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating:★★★★☆☆
Overview:Multitude AG, with a market cap of €132.98 million, operates in Finland offering digital lending and online banking services through its subsidiaries.
Operations:Multitude AG's revenue is primarily derived from its Consumer Banking segment at €110.20 million, followed by SME Banking at €15.20 million and Wholesale Banking at €10.20 million.
Dividend Yield:3.9%
Multitude's dividend payments are well covered by earnings and cash flows, with low payout ratios of 22.1% and 8.1%, respectively, though they have been volatile over the past decade. The proposed EUR 0.55 per share dividend for 2025 indicates a commitment to shareholder returns despite a lower yield than top UK payers. Recent debt financing activities, including repurchasing capital notes, reflect strategic financial management aimed at optimizing capital structure amidst an earnings growth forecast of 7.45% annually.

Morgan Advanced Materials
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating:★★★★☆☆
Overview:Morgan Advanced Materials plc is a company that manufactures and sells a range of carbon and ceramic products, with a market cap of approximately £552.94 million.
Operations:Morgan Advanced Materials plc generates revenue primarily from its Thermal Products (£349.90 million), Performance Carbon (£307.30 million), and Technical Ceramics (£341.90 million) segments.
Dividend Yield:6.1%
Morgan Advanced Materials' dividend yield of 6.1% ranks in the top 25% of UK payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to uncovered earnings and high debt levels. Despite cash flows covering dividends with a cash payout ratio of 66.5%, past payments have been volatile and unreliable. Recent financial performance showed decreased sales at £996.6M and net income dropping to £21.1M, highlighting challenges in maintaining consistent shareholder returns amidst unprofitability concerns.
Seplat Energy
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating:★★★★☆☆
Overview:Seplat Energy Plc is an independent energy company involved in oil and gas exploration, production, and gas processing across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas with a market cap of £2.89 billion.
Operations:Seplat Energy Plc generates revenue from three main segments: Oil ($2.49 billion), Gas ($184.18 million), and Natural Gas Liquid ($53.86 million).
Dividend Yield:4%
Seplat Energy's dividend yield of 4.03% is below the top UK payers, with a history of volatility and unreliability over the past decade. Despite this, dividends are well-covered by cash flows (17.2% payout ratio) and earnings (71.1% payout ratio). Recent financials show solid revenue growth to $2.73 billion in 2025, alongside stable production guidance for 2026, potentially supporting future dividend payments despite profit margin pressures from last year's decline to 5.9%.
