Banca Transilvania's dividend yield of 5.17% is below the top 25% in Romania, but it maintains a sustainable payout ratio of 35.6%, forecasted to remain sustainable at 45.8% in three years. Despite earnings growth of 30.9% last year, dividends have been volatile over the past decade, raising concerns about reliability.

Norsk Hydro (OB:NHY)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Norsk Hydro ASA operates globally in power production, bauxite extraction, alumina refining, aluminium smelting, and recycling, with a market cap of NOK134.54 billion.
Operations: Norsk Hydro ASA generates revenue primarily through its segments, including Hydro Energy (NOK11.38 billion), Hydro Extrusions (NOK77.26 billion), Hydro Metal Markets (NOK85.56 billion), Hydro Aluminium Metal (NOK59.41 billion), and Hydro Bauxite & Alumina (NOK59.90 billion).
Dividend Yield: 3.3%
Norsk Hydro's dividend reliability is challenged by a volatile history, though recent payouts are covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 46.5% and 43.3%, respectively. Despite trading at a significant discount to estimated fair value, its yield of 3.31% falls short compared to Norway's top dividend payers. Recent cost-cutting measures aim to bolster long-term resilience, potentially impacting future dividends amidst fluctuating profits and revenue growth driven by strategic realignments.
