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

Overview: Nordea Bank Abp provides a range of banking products and services across Sweden, Finland, Norway, Denmark, and internationally with a market cap of €36.66 billion.

Dividend Yield: 8.8%

Nordea Bank Abp's dividend appeal is marked by a high yield, positioning it in the top 25% of Finnish dividend payers. Despite this, its seven-year track record reveals volatility and unreliability in payments.

Recent business reorganizations aim for long-term technological advantages, potentially impacting future financial stability and dividend sustainability.
