Four high-yield, high-promise small caps

Take, for example, our High Yield Small Caps screen. For many years, its combination of value metrics (that high yield in the title), 'quality' markers of cash and balance sheet management, size bias and market growth estimates delivered the goods.

The article from Investors Chronicle discusses the potential of investing in the UK's water sector, highlighting the unique structure of the industry where water companies operate as regional monopolies under regulatory oversight by Ofwat. It points out that despite the monopolistic nature, these companies face significant challenges including high debt levels, environmental issues, and regulatory pressures which could impact their financial performance. The article mentions that while water companies have historically provided stable dividends, recent years have seen increased scrutiny over their environmental impact, particularly sewage discharges, leading to potential fines and reputational risks. It also notes the sector's efforts towards infrastructure investment to address these issues, but warns investors about the risks associated with regulatory changes, potential nationalization, and the financial health of these companies. The piece concludes by suggesting that while there might be opportunities for income-focused investors, the sector's complexities and risks require careful consideration.
