BioGaia
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: BioGaia AB (publ) is a healthcare company that offers probiotic products globally, with a market capitalization of SEK13.16 billion.
Operations: BioGaia AB (publ) generates revenue primarily from its Pediatrics segment, which accounts for SEK1.09 billion, and the Adult Health segment, contributing SEK321.29 million.
Dividend Yield: 5.2%
BioGaia's dividend yield of 5.18% is among the top 25% in Sweden, yet its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 194.4%, indicating dividends are not well covered by free cash flows. Despite a reasonable earnings payout ratio of 56.1%, dividend stability remains an issue with past volatility and unreliability over ten years. Recent earnings growth and proposed extra dividends highlight potential for income, but caution is warranted regarding long-term consistency.
