Here are three reliable dividend actions in Great Britain, which often appear in income investors’ portfolios.

Tesco

Favorite British grocery stores from the main street suffered compact losses this week after the defect influenced the online delivery service. However, over the past two years, supplies have increased by 52%, reflecting the impressive recovery after losses in 2021 and 2022.

Main US broker Citi Group recently repeated his purchase assessment for Tesco (LSE: TSCO), with a target price of 4.25 GBP.

In 2024, revenues increased by 4.39% to 68.19 billion GBP, and operating profit increased by 88.12% year on year to 2.8 billion GBP. The raise is at the base of the company, reflected in the 11% dividend growth to 12 pens per share. Currently, it has a capacity of 3.33%, which, although not particularly high, grows constantly.

In December 2024, market share reached the highest level of seven years, but still has challenging competition in the British retail sector. Rivals such as ASDA and Lidl offer budget-friendly alternatives that could regain favor in a high inflation environment.

Unilever

Global giant of consumer goods Unilever (LSE: ULVR) is a popular option for both his income and defense properties. Like Tesco, its efficiency rarely increases above 4%, but has low variability even during economic slowdown.

While its performance is delayed, like American rivals like Procter & GambleIts diverse portfolio of products and Global Reach constitute a stable basis for dividend income. Some of the best -selling brands are Pigeon soap, Magnum ice cream and Hellmann mayonnaise.

In terms of dividend, it is solid, making reliable payments for over 20 years and increasing them at a rate of about 5% per year. At the same time, the price of the shares increased at the annual rate of 7%.

Legal and general

Despite the last struggles, Legal and general (LSE: LGGE) remains a favorite among income investors. His enduring involvement of shareholders is reflected in performance, which changes between 8% and 10%.

Historically, this profitability was supported by robust earnings from insurance, retirement and assets management. However, the last fights harmed the company’s profits, and 2023 earnings lack expectations by 34%. Then its payment rate is currently unbalanced at 356%, increasing the risk of dividend reduction.

At the beginning of this month, the company agreed to sell part of its American activity and 20% of the British activity of the Japanese company Yoshida. Sales should bring 2.3 billion GBP per L & G, helping it finance the planned purchase program of 1 billion GBP.

The strategy should facilitate to reverse the fortune, confirming its position as the highest British dividend.
