OMV Petrom (BVB:SNP)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: OMV Petrom S.A. is an energy company involved in the exploration and production of oil and gas in Southeastern Europe, with a market cap of RON60.44 billion.
Operations: OMV Petrom S.A.'s revenue primarily comes from its Refining and Marketing segment, generating RON24.61 billion, followed by the Gas and Power segment at RON11.73 billion, and the Exploration and Production segment contributing RON9.79 billion.
Dividend Yield: 6.6%
OMV Petrom's dividend profile reveals both strengths and weaknesses for investors. The company has approved a special dividend, indicating shareholder returns remain a priority. However, its historical dividend payments have been volatile, and the current cash payout ratio of 1116% suggests dividends are not well covered by free cash flows. Despite this, the payout ratio of 74.8% indicates earnings coverage is reasonable. Trading below estimated fair value may present an opportunity for value-seeking investors.

Aker Solutions (OB:AKSO)

Operations: Aker Solutions ASA generates revenue primarily from its Renewables and Field Development segment, which accounts for NOK45.07 billion, followed by the Life Cycle segment contributing NOK14.93 billion.
Dividend Yield: 10.5%
Aker Solutions' dividend profile presents a mixed outlook. The company's payout ratio of 63.1% suggests dividends are covered by earnings, while the cash payout ratio of 67.5% indicates coverage by cash flows as well. However, dividend payments have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade, despite recent growth in earnings and revenues reaching NOK 16.98 billion in Q3 2025. Recent contracts with ConocoPhillips and ExxonMobil could bolster future revenue streams but do not guarantee stable dividends due to historical volatility.

Dividend Yield: 7.0%
Develia's dividend payments have been unstable over the past decade, despite a reasonable payout ratio of 56.5% and cash payout ratio of 60.5%, indicating coverage by earnings and cash flows.
