Operations: RHI Magnesita generates its revenue from several segments, including Steel (€2.37 billion), Industrial Process Industries (€426 million), Industrial Cement & Lime (€376 million), Industrial Non-Ferrous Metals (€247 million), and Minerals (€65 million).

Dividend Yield: 5.9%

RHI Magnesita's dividend yield of 5.9% is among the UK's top quartile, supported by a cash payout ratio of 29.6%, indicating solid coverage by cash flows.
