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

Overview: Zinzino AB (publ) is a direct sales company that offers dietary supplements and skincare products in Sweden and internationally, with a market cap of SEK3.33 billion.

Operations: Zinzino AB (publ) generates revenue primarily from its Zinzino (Incl. VMA Life) segment, which accounts for SEK1.83 billion, and the Faun segment contributing SEK170.31 million.

Dividend Yield: 3%

Zinzino's dividend payments are well-supported by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 56.3% and 47.7%, respectively, and have shown stability over the past decade. Despite a lower yield of 3.04% compared to top-tier Swedish dividend payers, Zinzino's dividends have grown consistently without volatility. Recent sales growth—21% year-to-date—reflects strong revenue performance, though shareholder dilution occurred recently alongside notable insider selling, which may raise concerns for some investors.

Holcim (SWX:HOLN)

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

Dividend Yield: 3.1%

Holcim's dividend yield of 3.08% is below the top Swiss dividend payers but remains reliable and well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 52.3% and 39.7%, respectively. Dividends have been stable over the past decade with consistent growth. Recent corporate guidance suggests steady financial performance, while strategic moves like a potential dual listing for its North American unit could impact shareholder dynamics without affecting current dividend stability.
