Dividend Yield: 3.3%
Alma Media Oyj's recent earnings report shows growth in sales and net income, with the second quarter sales reaching €87.9 million. Despite a low dividend yield of 3.29% relative to top Finnish payers, its dividends are well-covered by cash flows and earnings, with payout ratios at 46.6% and 62.4%, respectively. However, Alma Media's dividend history is unstable due to volatility over the past decade despite an overall increase in payments during that period.
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆

Operations: Sparebanken Møre generates its revenue from several segments, including NOK1.05 billion from Retail, NOK804 million from Corporate, and NOK41 million from Real Estate Brokerage.
Dividend Yield: 6.2%
Sparebanken Møre's dividend is supported by a reasonable payout ratio of 74.3%, indicating coverage by earnings, but its dividend history has been volatile over the past decade. Although the current yield of 6.16% is below Norway's top payers, recent earnings growth suggests potential stability ahead. The bank reported improved net income for Q2 2026 at NOK 275 million from NOK 243 million last year, reflecting solid financial performance despite an unstable dividend track record.

Operations: Dom Development S.A. generates revenue of PLN3.47 billion from its home building activities in the residential and commercial real estate sectors in Poland.
Dividend Yield: 5.4%
Dom Development's dividends have been stable and growing over the past decade, but they are not well covered by cash flows, with a high cash payout ratio of 214.7%. The dividend yield of 5.41% is below the top tier in Poland. Despite trading at good value and having a reasonable payout ratio of 52.7%, non-cash earnings raise concerns about sustainability. Recent earnings growth of 18.2% could support future stability if sustained.
