Buckle

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

Overview: The Buckle, Inc. is a U.S.-based retailer specializing in casual apparel, footwear, and accessories for men, women, and kids under the Buckle and Buckle Youth brands with a market cap of approximately $2.80 billion.

Operations: Buckle's revenue primarily comes from its sales of casual apparel, footwear, and accessories, totaling $1.23 billion.

Dividend Yield: 6.8%

Buckle's dividend yield of 6.81% ranks in the top quartile among US dividend payers, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 97.8%. Recent sales growth, with net sales reaching US$577.9 million for the 26-week period ending August 2, 2025, indicates operational strength. However, insider selling and past volatility in dividends raise concerns about reliability despite recent additions to various Russell indices potentially enhancing market visibility.

MSC Industrial Direct

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

Overview: MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. is a distributor of metalworking and maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) products and services across several countries including the United States, Canada, Mexico, and the United Kingdom with a market cap of approximately $4.81 billion.

Operations: MSC Industrial Direct Co., Inc. generates revenue of approximately $3.74 billion from its distribution of metalworking, MRO, Class C consumables, and OEM products and services.

Dividend Yield: 3.8%

MSC Industrial Direct's dividend growth over the past decade has been stable, yet its current yield of 3.83% is below top-tier US dividend payers. The recent $0.85 per share dividend reflects consistent payouts, but with a high payout ratio of 95.7%, sustainability is challenged by insufficient earnings coverage despite adequate cash flow support at a 71.8% cash payout ratio. Recent executive changes and extended credit facilities may impact financial stability and future dividends indirectly.
