Supreme (LON:SUP): A Dividend Yield to Watch
Tuesday, Dec 3, 2024 12:20 am ET
3min read Supreme Plc (LON:SUP) has recently announced a dividend of £0.018 per share, set to be paid on January 10th. This represents a yield of 1.98%, which is competitive within the retail sector. However, Supreme's dividend history has been marked by inconsistency, with annual dividends fluctuating between £0.022 and £0.047 from 2021 to 2024. Despite this lack of stability, the company has demonstrated strong earnings growth, with EPS increasing at a CAGR of 16% over the past five years.
In comparison to its retail sector peers, Supreme's dividend yield is lower than the sector average of 3.24%. Boohoo Group Plc (LON:BOO) and Asos Plc (LON:ASC) offer yields of around 4.5% and 3.5%, respectively. However, Supreme's earnings growth and potential for future dividend growth make it an attractive investment opportunity in the sector.
Supreme's dividend policy may evolve in the future, considering its current yield and the competitive landscape in the retail sector. Rivals like Next (LON:NXT) and Marks & Spencer (LON:MKS) offer higher yields of 3.5% and 5.5%, respectively. To remain competitive, Supreme may need to increase its dividend yield, potentially by raising the payout ratio or delivering stronger earnings growth.
In conclusion, Supreme's dividend yield, while lower than the sector average, offers an attractive investment opportunity given the company's strong earnings growth and potential for future dividend growth. Investors should monitor Supreme's earnings performance and dividend policy to make informed decisions about their investments in the retail sector.
