Frequently asked
Does Next 15 Group (NFC.XLON) pay a dividend?+
No. Next 15 Group (NFC.XLON) does not currently pay a dividend. The last payment in our data was in 2021, and nothing has been paid since.
How does Next 15 Group return cash to shareholders?+
It largely does not. Next 15 Group pays no dividend and we do not see a meaningful reduction in share count over the last twelve months, so cash is being retained in the business or spent on growth rather than returned. That is common for companies reinvesting heavily, and it means your return depends entirely on the share price.
Could Next 15 Group afford to pay a dividend?+
On the numbers, yes. Next 15 Group generated £68 million of free cash flow, which is about £0.70 per share. If it paid out half of that, the dividend would be roughly £0.35 per share, a yield of about 10.5% at the current price. That is an illustration of capacity, not a prediction: the company has given no indication it intends to pay one.
Which communication companies do pay dividends?+
