New Wave Group (OM:NEWA B)

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

Overview: New Wave Group AB operates in designing, acquiring, and developing brands and products across corporate, sports, gifts, and home furnishings sectors globally with a market capitalization of SEK 14.53 billion.

Operations: New Wave Group AB generates revenue through three primary segments: Corporate (SEK 4.68 billion), Sports & Leisure (SEK 3.82 billion), and Gifts & Home Furnishings (SEK 0.87 billion).

Dividend Yield: 3.2%

New Wave Group AB, despite a recent dip in Q1 2024 sales to SEK 1.99 billion and net income to SEK 121.3 million, maintains a conservative payout ratio of 45.6%, ensuring dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows (Cash Payout Ratio: 42.6%). However, its dividend yield at 3.2% is below the top quartile in Sweden's market and has shown volatility over the past decade, reflecting some instability in payouts despite being priced at a significant discount to fair value.

Operations: Solid Försäkringsaktiebolag generates revenue through three primary segments: Product (SEK 328.53 million), Assistance (SEK 339.51 million), and Personal Safety (SEK 423.71 million).

Dividend Yield: 5.7%

Solid Försäkringsaktiebolag offers a dividend yield of 5.7%, ranking it in the top 25% in Sweden's market. Although it has recently initiated dividends, making its stability and growth prospects unclear, the company's dividends are well-supported by both earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 50.2% and 87.4%, respectively. Recent board changes could influence future strategies, but the firm is trading at a significant discount (50.9%) to estimated fair value, suggesting potential undervaluation despite an unstable dividend track record.
