Avanza Bank Holding (OM:AZA)

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

Overview: Avanza Bank Holding AB, along with its subsidiaries, provides savings, pension, and mortgage products primarily in Sweden and has a market capitalization of approximately SEK 43.16 billion.

Operations: Avanza Bank Holding generates its revenue primarily through commercial operations, which amounted to SEK 3.84 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.2%

Avanza Bank Holding's recent dividend increase to SEK 11.50 reflects a positive trend, though its dividend history over the last decade shows volatility, with significant drops. The company reported a net income rise to SEK 555 million in Q1 2024 from SEK 501 million the previous year. Despite a high payout ratio of 88.6%, dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with a cash payout ratio at just 18.5%. This suggests sustainability, supported by an annual customer growth contributing to robust inflows.

Nordic Paper Holding (OM:NPAPER)

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

Overview: Nordic Paper Holding AB operates in the production and sale of natural greaseproof and kraft paper across Sweden, Italy, Germany, other European countries, the United States, and internationally, with a market cap of approximately SEK 3.55 billion.

Operations: Nordic Paper Holding AB generates revenue primarily through two segments: Kraft Paper, which brought in SEK 2.23 billion, and Natural Greaseproof paper with SEK 2.19 billion in sales.

Dividend Yield: 7.5%

Nordic Paper Holding's dividend yield of 7.53% ranks in the top quartile in Sweden, despite a recent cut to SEK 4 per share as of May 2024. While dividends are supported by earnings with a payout ratio of 68.3% and cash flows at 78%, the company's dividend history is short and unstable, having initiated payments only three years ago. Additionally, recent financials show a decline in net income from SEK 173 million to SEK 149 million year-over-year for Q1 2024, suggesting potential challenges ahead in maintaining dividend growth.

Solid Försäkringsaktiebolag recently declared a dividend of SEK 82.84 million, equating to SEK 4.50 per share, reflecting a commitment to shareholder returns amidst a positive earnings report for Q1 2024 with net income rising to SEK 45.04 million from SEK 41.51 million year-over-year. The company's dividends appear sustainable with an earnings coverage at 50.2% and cash flow coverage at 86.5%, though its dividend history is too brief to judge long-term stability or growth potential reliably.
