Rejlers (OM:REJL B)

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

Overview: Rejlers AB (publ) provides technical and engineering consultancy services in Sweden, Finland, Norway, and the United Arab Emirates, with a market cap of SEK3.32 billion.

Operations: Rejlers AB (publ) generates revenue from several key segments, including SEK2.63 billion from Sweden, SEK1.37 billion from Finland, and SEK304.40 million from Norway (including Embriq).

Dividend Yield: 3%

Rejlers offers a mixed picture for dividend investors. While its dividend payments have increased over the past decade, they have been volatile and sometimes unreliable. The payout ratio of 50% indicates dividends are covered by earnings, and a cash payout ratio of 30.7% suggests good coverage by cash flows. Recent projects like the Viskadalsbanan infrastructure upgrade and collaborations in energy storage bolster Rejlers' growth prospects but do not necessarily ensure stable or high dividends.

AB SKF (OM:SKF B)

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

Overview: AB SKF (publ) designs, manufactures, and sells bearings and units, seals, lubrication systems, condition monitoring, and services worldwide with a market cap of SEK83.10 billion.

Operations: AB SKF's revenue is segmented into Automotive, generating SEK29.44 billion, and Industrial, contributing SEK71.08 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.1%

AB SKF's dividend payments have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade, although they are currently covered by earnings (59.9% payout ratio) and cash flows (53.6% cash payout ratio). The stock trades at 59.3% below its estimated fair value, presenting a potential value opportunity despite its low dividend yield of 4.11%. Recent executive changes, including a new CFO appointment, and strategic initiatives like green steel production could impact future performance but add uncertainty to its dividend stability.

Zinzino (OM:ZZ B)

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 SEK2.72 billion.

Operations: Zinzino AB (publ) generates its revenue from dietary supplements and skincare products sold both domestically in Sweden and internationally.

Dividend Yield: 3.8%

Zinzino's dividend payments are well covered by earnings (56.3% payout ratio) and cash flows (47.4% cash payout ratio), with a reliable 10-year history of stable and growing dividends. Despite trading at 64.8% below its estimated fair value, its dividend yield of 3.79% is modest compared to top Swedish payers. Recent revenue growth of 39%, driven by strong sales in August, supports the sustainability of its dividends amidst ongoing expansion efforts in Europe and potential acquisitions in the US and Asia.
