BioGaia (OM:BIOG B)

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

Overview: BioGaia AB (publ) is a healthcare company that offers probiotic products globally, with a market capitalization of approximately SEK10.94 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: 6.4%

BioGaia's dividend yield of 6.38% ranks among the top 25% in Sweden, yet its reliability is questionable due to volatility and a high cash payout ratio of 193.8%, indicating dividends aren't well covered by cash flows. Despite a low earnings payout ratio of 47.8%, suggesting coverage by profits, the sustainability remains uncertain without strong cash flow backing. Recent earnings growth shows promise, with Q2 sales at SEK 384.12 million and net income rising to SEK 111.01 million.
