Want a 6% income that should grow? Like companies with long-term track records of growth and high profitability? Like “value” companies that trade on as P/E of 10x or less?

Who is Amlin?

Geographically the company operates globally with main markets being North America, Continental Europe and also the UK.

Three reasons to Like Amlin: 6% Yield, growth record, profitability

First of all, the income – a prospective 6.1% dividend yield for this year based on the current share price of 442p. There is little reason to expect this dividend not to be paid at this level, given that:

The expected dividend of 26.9p is well covered by expected earnings per share of 42.7p;
Amlin has maintained or grown its dividend each year for each of the last 10 years (Figure 1), making it it is what I call a “dividend aristocrat”.
