Ework Group (OM:EWRK)

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

Overview: Ework Group AB (publ) offers total talent solutions specializing in IT/OT, R&D, engineering, and business development across several European countries, with a market cap of SEK2.54 billion.

Operations: Ework Group AB (publ) generates revenue through its provision of comprehensive talent solutions focused on IT/OT, R&D, engineering, and business development across Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Slovakia, Belgium, and Poland.

Dividend Yield: 4.8%

Ework Group's dividend yield of 4.78% ranks in the top 25% of Swedish dividend payers, but its sustainability is questionable due to a high payout ratio of 91.9%, not fully covered by earnings. Despite increasing dividends over the past decade, payments have been volatile and unreliable. Recent agreements with Svenska kraftnat and the Swedish Police Authority could enhance revenue prospects, yet geographical expansion into Belgium may impact cash flow stability needed for consistent dividends.
