Dividend Yield: 3.2%
Knowit's dividend payments are well covered by both earnings (77.3% payout ratio) and free cash flow (41.6% cash payout ratio), though the dividend yield of 3.15% is lower than the top 25% in Sweden.

Solid Försäkringsaktiebolag (OM:SFAB)

Operations: Solid Försäkringsaktiebolag's revenue segments include Product (SEK320.51 million), Assistance (SEK351.63 million), and Personal Safety (SEK435.09 million).
Dividend Yield: 5.2%
Solid Försäkringsaktiebolag's dividend payments are well covered by earnings (49.1% payout ratio) and cash flows (73.7% cash payout ratio). The company's recent buyback program, repurchasing 122,188 shares for SEK 10.19 million, aims to improve capital structure and shareholder value. Despite a strong dividend yield of 5.18%, it's too early to assess the reliability or growth of dividends as they have only recently been initiated.

Softronic (OM:SOF B)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Softronic AB (publ) provides IT and management services primarily in Sweden and has a market cap of SEK1.14 billion.
Operations: Softronic AB (publ) generates SEK838.92 million in revenue from its Computer Services segment.
Dividend Yield: 6.2%
Softronic AB's recent earnings report showed modest growth, with second-quarter sales at SEK 206.8 million and net income of SEK 14.6 million. However, its dividend sustainability is concerning; the high cash payout ratio (94.5%) indicates dividends are not well covered by cash flows, despite a solid payout ratio (85.5%). While the dividend yield of 6.21% is attractive and among the top in Sweden, past payments have been volatile and unreliable over ten years.
