Dividend Yield: 3.1%
Knowit AB's recent dividend declaration of SEK 5.20 per share, split into two payments, aligns with its historical pattern but reflects a cautious approach amid fluctuating earnings. With Q1 2024 revenue dropping to SEK 1.77 billion from SEK 1.97 billion year-over-year and net income decreasing to SEK 61 million from SEK 99.8 million, financial performance raises concerns about sustained profitability and dividend stability. Despite these challenges, the dividends are supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 70.9% and a cash payout ratio of 39%, suggesting that current dividends are manageable within existing financial constraints.
