Let’s uncover some gems from our specialized screener.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Betsson AB (publ) operates and manages online gaming businesses across the Nordic countries, Latin America, Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and internationally with a market cap of SEK22.35 billion.
Operations: Betsson AB’s revenue primarily comes from its Casinos & Resorts segment, generating €1.18 billion.
Dividend Yield: 4.5%
Betsson’s dividend payments are well-covered by both earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 46.9% and 40.6%, respectively. Despite a volatile dividend history over the past decade, recent growth in dividends is notable. The company’s earnings have shown consistent growth, with a 17.2% annual increase over five years. Betsson’s current dividend yield of 4.51% ranks it among the top payers in Sweden, although insider selling has been significant recently.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Björn Borg AB (publ) and its subsidiaries manufacture, distribute, and sell underwear, sportswear, footwear, bags, and eyewear under the Björn Borg brand with a market cap of SEK1.53 billion.
Operations: Björn Borg’s revenue segments consist of License (SEK40.12 million), Wholesale (SEK709.21 million), Own Stores (SEK98.69 million), Distributors (SEK714.71 million), and Own E-Commerce (SEK203.94 million).
Dividend Yield: 4.9%
Björn Borg’s dividend yield of 4.93% places it among the top 25% in Sweden, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 381.8%, indicating dividends are not well covered by free cash flows. Despite recent earnings growth and trading below estimated fair value, the dividend history has been volatile over the past decade. Significant insider selling and inconsistent earnings coverage further challenge Björn Borg’s reliability as a stable dividend stock.
