3 British Dividend Stocks To Own In September 2026

UK construction activity is weakening as new orders fall, while car registrations are recovering. That mix of softer building and resilient consumer demand keeps attention on income that arrives on schedule. Reliable dividend paying UK stocks yielding above 3% can help steady a portfolio when growth feels patchy. This article highlights three higher yielding UK dividend stocks from our screen that merit a closer look.

The stocks below are just a starting sample, since the full Dividend Powerhouses screen surfaced 41 more companies with equally compelling income stories that are not covered here. If you want to identify and analyze those extra high yield ideas in one place, head straight to the Dividend Powerhouses (3%+ Yield) screener.

MONY Group (LSE:MONY)

MONY Group runs MoneySuperMarket, MoneySavingExpert and Quidco, online platforms that help UK consumers compare insurance, credit cards, loans, energy and travel deals while earning referral commissions for each policy or product taken out. That insurance and money comparison activity is the core of the business, with Insurance bringing in about £236.9 million of revenue, Money £110.5 million, and Home Services and Cashback adding around £54.8 million and £49.3 million respectively, all within a UK focused footprint. With a market cap of roughly £1.01 billion, MONY Group is a mid sized listed company on the London Stock Exchange.

Income focused investors may want MONY Group on their watchlist because it combines a 6.38% dividend yield with cashflows tied to everyday essentials like insurance and household bills rather than more cyclical spending. Recent half year results showed steady revenue and earnings, an increased interim dividend and ongoing share buybacks, which together indicate a management team prioritising returns to shareholders. The trade off is rising marketing spend, margin pressure in some lower margin contracts and reliance on external borrowing instead of customer deposits, which could matter in tougher conditions. A key question for investors is whether the digital platform, high return on equity and dividend track record outweigh those funding and regulatory risks over time.

4imprint Group (LSE:FOUR)

4imprint Group is a direct marketer of promotional products such as branded apparel, drinkware, bags and corporate giveaways. Repeat orders from commercial, government, education and charity customers feed steady cash flows that support its dividend profile. The business is largely North America focused, with about US$1.33b of revenue from that region and US$25.6 million from the UK and Ireland. The company has a market cap of roughly £1.25b as a London listed stock.

Income investors may want 4imprint Group on their radar because a 3.97% dividend yield is backed by a long running, cash generative catalogue of repeat purchase products and a track record of high returns on equity. Recent half year results to August 2026 show higher sales but lower net income and earnings per share. This puts a question mark over how comfortable dividend cover will be if that pattern continues. Guidance for full year revenue slightly above 2025 and earnings ahead of analyst expectations indicates that management still sees room to support payouts. The key issue is whether that strong franchise and recurring customer base can keep funding dividends as growth cools and valuation looks full on some models.

4imprint Group’s sales growth with softer earnings is the kind of decoupling income investors often miss. Run your own checks against the analysis report for 4imprint Group for the twist behind that 3.97% yield story.

Foresight Group Holdings (LSE:FSG)

Foresight Group Holdings is a London based asset manager that runs infrastructure, renewable energy and private equity funds, with a strong link to the Dividend Powerhouses theme through income generating solar, wind and other infrastructure portfolios that pay regular distributions to investors. Most revenue comes from Real Assets at about £114.8 million, with a further £50.1 million from Private Equity, giving it fee streams tied to both long term infrastructure projects and smaller company investments. The company has a market cap of roughly £529 million.

Income investors who like the idea of a 5%+ yield backed by real world assets may find Foresight Group Holdings worth a closer look. Its renewables and infrastructure funds are designed to generate cash flows that support management fees, and recent results showed higher revenue, earnings and profit margins, plus an active buyback programme that reduces the share count. The flip side is a funding structure that leans on external borrowing and a business model partly reliant on performance fees, which can make earnings more sensitive to markets and regulation. The key consideration is how those income streams, buybacks and risks fit together over the next few years for your portfolio.

Foresight Group Holdings sits at the crossroads of real world assets and a 5%+ yield, yet many investors may not see the full picture. Explore the fee streams and funding structure in the analysis report for Foresight Group Holdings
