Operations: CNTEE Transelectrica SA generates revenue primarily from its Transmission and Dispatch segment, amounting to RON6.14 billion.

Dividend Yield: 5.5%

CNTEE Transelectrica's dividend payments have been volatile over the past decade, though they are currently well covered by earnings (49% payout ratio) and cash flows (65.9% cash payout ratio).

Aker Solutions (OB:AKSO)

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

Overview: Aker Solutions ASA is a company that offers solutions, products, systems, and services to the oil and gas industry across several countries including Norway, the United States, and Brazil, with a market capitalization of NOK14.02 billion.

Operations: Aker Solutions ASA's revenue segments include Life Cycle at NOK14.58 billion and Renewables and Field Development at NOK41.77 billion.

Dividend Yield: 11.4%

Aker Solutions' dividend payments have been volatile and are not well covered by cash flows, with a high cash payout ratio of 126.9%. Despite earnings growth of 48.5% last year, the dividends remain unreliable over the past decade. The current yield is among the top in Norway at 11.38%, but sustainability is questionable due to insufficient free cash flow coverage. Recent executive changes include Sigurd Mosheim Sævareid replacing Stian Pettersen Sagvold on the board.

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

Overview: SBO AG is a global manufacturer and seller of steel products, with a market cap of €452.29 million.

Operations: SBO AG generates its revenue primarily from Energy Equipment (€318.24 million) and Precision Technology (€320.90 million).

Dividend Yield: 6.1%

SBO's dividend yield of 6.1% ranks in the top 25% in Austria, yet its track record is unstable and payments have been volatile over the past decade. The dividends are covered by earnings (payout ratio: 70.9%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio: 49.4%), suggesting sustainability despite recent declines in sales and net income as reported for H1 2025. Trading below fair value estimates, SBO may present an opportunity for investors seeking yield with some risk tolerance.
