Avanza Bank Holding
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Avanza Bank Holding AB operates in Sweden, providing a diverse array of savings, pension, and mortgage products with a market capitalization of approximately SEK 41.24 billion.
Operations: Avanza Bank Holding AB generates its revenue primarily through commercial operations, which amounted to SEK 3.84 billion.
Dividend Yield: 4.4%
Avanza Bank Holding has demonstrated a mixed performance in its dividend strategy. Despite a recent increase to SEK 11.50 per share, the company's history of dividend payments over the past decade has been marked by volatility, with significant annual fluctuations exceeding 20%. However, current dividends are well-supported, with an earnings payout ratio of 88.6% and a robust cash payout ratio of 18.5%, indicating sufficient coverage by both earnings and cash flow. This financial structure suggests potential for sustained payouts despite past inconsistencies.
Björn Borg
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Björn Borg AB operates in the design, development, production, wholesale, and retail of underwear, sports apparel, footwear, bags, eyewear, and fragrances under the Björn Borg brand with a market capitalization of approximately SEK 1.33 billion.
Operations: Björn Borg AB generates revenue through various segments including licensing (SEK 41.46 million), own stores (SEK 104.71 million), distributors (SEK 587.23 million), own e-commerce (SEK 155.13 million), and wholesale business (SEK 600.79 million).
Dividend Yield: 5.7%
Björn Borg AB's recent financial performance shows a promising uptick, with net income rising significantly to SEK 75.97 million in 2023 from SEK 50.87 million the previous year. The company has proposed increasing its dividend to SEK 3.00 per share, up from SEK 2.00, totaling SEK 75.4 million for distribution—a positive sign for investors looking for growth in payouts. However, Björn Borg's dividend history has been marked by volatility and inconsistency over the past decade, raising concerns about the stability of future dividends despite current improvements.
Nordic Paper Holding
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Nordic Paper Holding AB operates in the production and sale of natural greaseproof and kraft paper across Sweden, Italy, Germany, other parts of Europe, the United States, and internationally, with a market capitalization of approximately SEK 4.06 billion.
Operations: Nordic Paper Holding AB generates revenue primarily through two segments: Kraft Paper, which brought in SEK 2.23 billion, and Natural Greaseproof, contributing SEK 2.19 billion.
Dividend Yield: 6.6%
Nordic Paper Holding AB, despite a recent dip in quarterly sales to SEK 1.21 billion and net income to SEK 149 million, maintains a competitive dividend yield of 6.59%, ranking in the top quartile of Swedish dividend stocks. The company's dividends are well-supported with a payout ratio of 68.3% and cash payout ratio at 78%. However, its short history of dividend payments and recent proposal to reduce the dividend to SEK 4 per share may concern investors seeking stable long-term returns. Additionally, potential sale discussions by major shareholder Shanying could impact future ownership and strategy.
