BioGaia (OM:BIOG B)

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

Overview: BioGaia AB (publ) is a healthcare company that provides probiotic products worldwide and has a market cap of SEK11.30 billion.

Operations: BioGaia AB (publ) generates revenue primarily from its Pediatrics segment, which accounts for SEK1072.93 million, and its Adult Health segment, contributing SEK288.68 million.

Dividend Yield: 6.2%

BioGaia's dividend yield of 6.18% places it among the top 25% of dividend payers in Sweden, yet its sustainability is questionable. Despite a decade-long increase in dividends, they are not well covered by free cash flow, with a high cash payout ratio of 193.8%. Recent earnings show promising growth, with Q2 sales at SEK 384.12 million and net income at SEK 111.01 million, but significant insider selling raises concerns about future stability.

Dividend Yield: 3.8%

Dividends have been consistently growing and are well-covered by both earnings (55.4% payout ratio) and cash flows (57.8% cash payout ratio).
