NCC (OM:NCC B)

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

Overview: NCC AB (publ) is a construction company operating in Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland with a market cap of approximately SEK18.60 billion.

Dividend Yield: 4.7%

NCC's dividend is well-covered, with a payout ratio of 57.6% and a cash payout ratio of 25.8%, but its reliability is questionable due to volatility over the past decade. Despite this, it offers a competitive yield in Sweden's market. Recent projects, such as expansions in Finland and road maintenance contracts in Sweden and Norway, highlight NCC's ongoing business activities that may support future earnings stability despite recent quarterly losses impacting short-term outlooks.
