The naked Trader today - And GVC (LON:GVC), what a great trade that is turning out to be, that has continued with its upward climb with capital rising and a magnificent dividend too. It's been rising steadily for some time and seems to be no stopping it for now, great profits building.

Shares - Online gambling GVC is popular among retail investors for its generous quarterly distributions and while a prospective 8.5% yield would normally look too good to be true, the company insists the high cash-generative nature of its business, limited capital expenditure requirements and transparent accounting means the dividend yield is believable.

AIM's biggest dividend payers for 2015


GVC Holdings

Online gaming company GVC (GVC) has one of the most attractive yields on AIM and the successful acquisition and integration of part of Sportingbet has enhanced its prospects. The latest trading statement shows a sixth quarter of revenue growth, helped by an increased contribution from mobile. As well as a regular quarterly dividend there is scope for further special dividends.

The fourth quarter has not ended and net gaming revenues have already passed the third quarter figure. This has been achieved despite a strong third quarter in sports betting due to the World Cup. This was reflected in the special dividend of €0.025 a share that was paid along with the recent quarterly dividend of €0.125 a share. That reflected the one-off benefits of the World Cup, but there is potential for more special dividends when trading is better than expected.

Prospective dividend yield: 8.2% (excluding special dividends)
Market capitalisation: £297.9 million
Share price: 486p
% change year to date: +37%

GVC can still afford to invest in mobile technology and its sportsbook on top of paying the dividend. Most of the company’s trading activities are outside of the UK so it will not be hit as hard as some competitors by the new HMRC tax regime on online gambling. A 2014 profit of €46 million is forecast and a similar outcome is forecast for 2015, which lacks a major sporting event. An unchanged dividend of €0.5 a share would be equivalent to more than two-thirds of forecast earnings.

GVC did stop paying dividends for a short period while it acquired Sportingbet, and that could happen again if a large deal is found. However, one of the main uncertainties about the dividend is movements in the €/£ exchange rate because the dividends are announced in Euros. The first quarter dividend was equivalent to 9.87p a share, while the second quarter dividend was 9.79p a share. At the moment, €0.125 is equivalent to 10p a share, though. Stripping out the special dividends, the full year dividend is equivalent to around 40p a share.
