Afry
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Afry AB offers engineering, design, and advisory services across the infrastructure, industry, energy, and digitalization sectors in North and South America, Finland, and Central Europe with a market cap of SEK17.74 billion.
Operations: Afry AB's revenue segments include Energy (SEK3.77 billion), Infrastructure (SEK10.42 billion), Process Industries (SEK5.33 billion), Management Consulting (SEK1.69 billion), and Industrial & Digital Solutions (SEK6.85 billion).
Dividend Yield: 3.5%
AFRY's dividend payments have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade, with a yield of 3.51%—lower than the top quartile in Sweden. Despite this, dividends are well-covered by earnings (payout ratio: 52.1%) and cash flows (cash payout ratio: 41.4%). The company is trading at a good value relative to peers, despite high debt levels. Recent stable earnings growth supports dividend sustainability but leadership changes could impact future stability.
