Despite consistent growth in dividends over the last decade, its dividend yield remains modest compared to the top quartile of Swedish dividend stocks at 4.2%.

Bahnhof AB's recent earnings show a revenue increase to SEK 491.38 million and net income up to SEK 56.17 million, reflecting a growth of 17.7% over the past year. Despite this, its dividend yield of 3.96% remains below the Swedish market's top quartile at 4.2%. The dividend coverage is problematic with a high payout ratio of 97.5%, indicating that dividends are not well-covered by earnings, posing risks to sustainability despite a decade of reliable payments.

Despite this downturn, the company maintains a dividend of SEK 3.00 per share for the year, distributed in two installments.
