Overview: AQ Group AB operates as a manufacturer and seller of components and systems for industrial customers across Sweden, other European countries, and internationally, with a market capitalization of SEK 12.97 billion.

Operations: AQ Group AB generates its revenue primarily through two segments: Components, which brought in SEK 7.89 billion, and Systems, contributing SEK 1.87 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.7%

AQ Group AB, a Swedish company, recently increased its dividend to SEK 6.66 per share and has maintained a consistent dividend growth over the past decade. Despite this growth, the dividends have shown volatility and unreliability in their distribution patterns.

Softronic

Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Overview: Softronic AB (publ) specializes in providing IT and management services mainly in Sweden, with a market capitalization of approximately SEK 1.19 billion.

Operations: Softronic AB generates its revenue primarily through computer services, totaling SEK 834.42 million.

Dividend Yield: 6%

Softronic has demonstrated a mixed performance in dividend sustainability. While its dividend yield of 5.99% ranks high within the Swedish market, the coverage by earnings at a payout ratio of 86.6% and especially cash flows with a cash payout ratio of 138% indicates potential pressure on future payouts. Despite this, dividends have increased over the past decade but have experienced significant volatility. Recent financials show a slight decline in sales and net income, which could impact its ability to maintain current dividend levels.
