Overview: Investment AB Öresund (OM:ORES) is a Swedish investment company involved in asset management, with a market cap of SEK5.29 billion.

Dividend Yield: 5.9%
Investment AB Öresund's dividend yield of 5.88% ranks in the top 25% of Swedish dividend payers, but its sustainability is questionable due to a high cash payout ratio of 165.3%, indicating dividends are not well covered by cash flows. Despite a low price-to-earnings ratio of 12.5x compared to the market, dividends have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade. Recent earnings results showed a significant net loss, further impacting dividend reliability.

Sankyu's dividend yield of 3.61% is slightly below the top 25% in Japan, with a low payout ratio of 17.5%, suggesting earnings comfortably cover dividends, though cash flow coverage is weak at a high cash payout ratio of 157.9%. Dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, supported by recent earnings growth of 20.4%. The stock trades at a favorable price-to-earnings ratio of 10.6x compared to the market average, enhancing its value proposition for investors.
