Betsson (OM:BETS B)

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

Overview: Betsson AB (publ) operates an online gaming business through its subsidiaries, focusing on markets in the Nordic countries, Latin America, Western Europe, Central and Eastern Europe, Central Asia, and internationally with a market cap of SEK35.15 billion.

Operations: Betsson AB's revenue primarily comes from its Casinos & Resorts segment, which generated €1.01 billion.

Dividend Yield: 5.8%

Betsson's dividend yield of 5.78% ranks in the top quartile among Swedish dividend payers, but its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 101.7%. While earnings have grown by 12.2% over the past year, dividends are not well covered by free cash flows and have been volatile over the last decade. Recent debt refinancing activities may impact future financial flexibility, though they indicate proactive capital management strategies.

Operations: New Wave Group AB's revenue is comprised of SEK4.68 billion from the Corporate segment, SEK3.91 billion from Sports & Leisure, and SEK877.40 million from Gifts & Home Furnishings.

Dividend Yield: 3.2%

New Wave Group's dividend yield of 3.18% is below the Swedish market's top quartile, yet dividends are well covered by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 47.9% and 37.8%, respectively. Despite a history of volatility, dividends have grown over the past decade. Recent executive changes may affect future stability, as CFO Lars Jönsson plans to depart in early 2025.

Recent inclusion in the S&P Global BMI Index and strong revenue growth—up 39% year-over-year to SEK 178.7 million for August—highlight positive financial momentum supporting future payouts.
