BioGaia (OM:BIOG B)

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

Overview: BioGaia AB (publ) is a healthcare company that offers probiotic products globally, with a market capitalization of SEK13.16 billion.

Operations: BioGaia AB (publ) generates revenue primarily from its Pediatrics segment, which accounts for SEK1.09 billion, and the Adult Health segment, contributing SEK321.29 million.

Dividend Yield: 5.2%

BioGaia's dividend yield of 5.18% is among the top 25% in Sweden, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 194.4%, indicating dividends are not well covered by free cash flows. Despite a reasonable earnings payout ratio of 56.1%, dividend stability remains an issue with past volatility and unreliability over ten years. Recent earnings growth and proposed extra dividends highlight potential for income, but caution is warranted regarding long-term consistency.

• Dive into the specifics of BioGaia here with our thorough dividend report.
• Our comprehensive valuation report raises the possibility that BioGaia is priced higher than what may be justified by its financials.

SBI Holdings (TSE:8473)

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

Overview: SBI Holdings, Inc. operates in the online securities and investment sectors in Japan and Saudi Arabia, with a market cap of ¥1.36 trillion.

Dividend Yield: 3.3%

SBI Holdings' dividend yield of 3.35% is below Japan's top 25% dividend payers, but its sustainability is supported by a low cash payout ratio of 2.6% and an earnings payout ratio of 34.6%, indicating strong coverage from both earnings and cash flows. Despite past volatility in dividend payments, recent strategic alliances in gaming and energy sectors could enhance growth prospects, while fixed-income offerings totaling ¥70 billion may bolster financial stability for consistent future payouts.

Operations: Akatsuki Corp. generates revenue through its operations in the real estate and securities sectors within Japan.

Dividend Yield: 4.5%

Akatsuki's dividend yield of 4.47% ranks among the top 25% in Japan, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a lack of free cash flow coverage and past volatility.

The recent ¥1 billion fixed-income offering could provide some financial stability for future payouts amidst these challenges.
