Operations: Bahnhof AB (publ) generates revenue through its operations in the Internet and telecommunications sectors across Sweden and Europe.

Dividend Yield: 3.8%

Overview: Duni AB (publ) is a company that develops, manufactures, and sells concepts and products for serving, take-away, and meal packaging in Sweden and internationally, with a market cap of SEK4.96 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.7%

Duni's dividend yield of 4.73% ranks it among the top 25% of Swedish payers, with dividends well-covered by earnings and cash flows at payout ratios of 63.9% and 42.9%, respectively. However, its dividend history is marked by volatility, raising concerns about reliability despite recent growth in earnings at 23% annually over five years. The company's strategic expansion in Germany could improve operational efficiency but may also introduce short-term financial adjustments impacting future dividends.
