BioGaia

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

Overview: BioGaia AB is a healthcare company specializing in probiotic products with a market capitalization of approximately SEK 12.92 billion.

Operations: BioGaia AB generates its revenue primarily through the sale of probiotic products across global markets.

Dividend Yield: 5.4%

BioGaia's recent earnings show a robust increase, with Q2 sales up to SEK 384.12 million and net income at SEK 111.01 million. Despite a healthy payout ratio of 47.8%, indicating earnings cover dividends well, its dividend sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 193.4%. The company’s strategic expansion into Australia and New Zealand could bolster future prospects, yet its dividends have shown volatility over the past decade, reflecting some risk for dividend-focused investors.

Operations: HEXPOL AB generates SEK 20.18 billion from its Compounding segment and SEK 1.61 billion from its Engineered Products division.

Dividend Yield: 3.3%

HEXPOL AB, despite a recent dip in sales and net income as reported on July 17, 2024, maintains a moderate dividend yield of 3.35%, underperforming against the top quartile of Swedish dividend stocks at 4.15%. The company's dividends are well-supported by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 55.4% and 57.8% respectively, indicating sustainability. Dividend reliability is underscored by a decade-long stability in payouts, further bolstered by an increase to SEK 6 per share announced on April 26, reflecting a positive outlook for continuity despite leadership changes with Klas Dahlberg stepping in as CEO.
