BioGaia (OM:BIOG B)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: BioGaia AB (publ) is a healthcare company that develops, manufactures, markets, and sells probiotic products for gut, oral, and immune health across various regions including Europe, the Middle East, Africa, the United States, Asia-Pacific, Australia, and New Zealand with a market cap of approximately SEK10.45 billion.
Operations: BioGaia AB's revenue is primarily derived from its Pediatrics segment, which accounts for SEK1.09 billion, followed by the Adult Health segment at SEK357.59 million.
Dividend Yield: 6.7%
BioGaia's dividend yield is attractive, ranking in the top 25% of Swedish market payers at 6.68%. However, despite an increase in dividends over the past decade, their stability is questionable due to volatility and a high cash payout ratio of 216.8%, indicating dividends are not well-covered by free cash flows. Recent earnings showed growth with net income rising to SEK 65.88 million for Q3 2025, suggesting potential for future dividend sustainability if trends continue positively.

Dividend Yield: 4.3%
Phoenix Mecano's dividend yield of 4.27% is among the top 25% in Switzerland, but its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 110.3%, indicating dividends aren't well-covered by free cash flows. Although dividends have grown over the past decade, they remain volatile and unreliable. Recent earnings showed a decline with net income at €13.9 million for H1 2025, down from €17.2 million the previous year, potentially impacting future payouts.
