Sparebanken Norge
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★☆☆
Overview: Sparebanken Vest is a financial services company offering banking and financing services in the counties of Vestland and Rogaland, Norway, with a market cap of NOK16.68 billion.
Operations: Sparebanken Vest generates revenue through several segments: Estate Agency Business (NOK316 million), Banking Operations - Treasury (NOK1.52 billion), Banking Operations - Bulder Bank (NOK371 million), Banking Operations - Retail Market (NOK3.22 billion), and Banking Operations - Corporate Market (NOK2.33 billion).
Dividend Yield: 5.6%
Sparebanken Norge's dividend payments are currently well-covered by earnings, with a payout ratio of 49.9%, and are forecasted to remain sustainable over the next three years at 70.3%. However, its dividend yield of 5.59% is lower than the top quartile in Norway, and its historical dividend track record has been volatile. Despite this, recent earnings growth and a fair valuation position it as an attractive consideration for investors seeking potential value in European dividend stocks.
