Top Dividend Stocks on the Nordic and Baltic Exchanges
The spring dividend season is just around the corner, and there are several attractive opportunities in the Nordic and Baltic markets. We selected 11 strong companies that offer good yields and have a stable payment history. We excluded Truecaller and Pieno Žvaigždės from the list, as their irregular payment history and sharply declining profits indicate too high a risk. Eleving Group was also excluded from the selection, as their exact dividend payment schedule is currently unknown.
Handelsbanken offers investors an impressive 10,64% dividend yield. The bank's next ex-date (the cut-off date from which buying means you miss out on the dividend) is already on 26. March 2026, making it an attractive short-term target.
At the same time, it must be noted that the bank's core business is under pressure. Falling interest rates have reduced net interest income, causing the latest quarter's operating profit to fall by 16,3%. Despite this, it is a very consistent dividend payer.
The Swedish gambling company Betsson offers a strong 8,36% dividend yield, with an ex-date on 8. May 2026. The company is known for its regular payouts, which gives investors confidence.
In the last quarter, the company's profit did turn to a 24,2% decline due to higher taxes, but recent expansion into the Canadian market offers new growth potential. This helps diversify revenues and mitigate the temporary weakness of the core business.
The Finnish asset management company CapMan attracts investors with a 7,73% yield, and its ex-date is on 26. March 2026. The company has shown a very stable dividend history.
Although CapMan's sales revenue grew by a massive 47,5% in the last quarter, profit growth slowed to 8,0% as personnel costs increased. On the positive side, the company is expanding into new markets, having recently opened an office in Paris.
Taaleri offers investors a 6,89% dividend yield, with an ex-date on 9. April 2026. The company recently confirmed the payment of a 0,30 EUR dividend, continuing its stable payout history.
The last quarter's operating profit did fall by 39,4%, but this was expected, as the previous year's result was inflated by one-off income from the sale of a US renewable energy project. The core business still needs a boost to keep up with competitors.
The Estonian construction giant Merko Ehitus offers a 6,79% dividend yield. The company's estimated ex-date is on 1. June 2026, giving investors a bit more time to take positions.
Merko's profit fell sharply by 89,3% in the last quarter, as large construction projects ended and apartment sales dried up. At the same time, the company has started the construction of a new 48 million EUR office building, which will help stabilize future revenues.
Enento Group stands out with a 6,78% dividend yield and very strong business growth. Their ex-date is on 26. March 2026, making the stock an appealing choice for the spring season.
The company's profit has grown explosively, by a massive 62,3% in the last quarter. This was driven by the successful sale of services aimed at business clients and successful cost savings, showing the company's excellent health.
Fenix Outdoor offers a 6,68% dividend yield, with an ex-date on 28. April 2026. It is a very consistent dividend payer, well-suited for an investor seeking stability.
The company's operating profit grew by 15,4% in the last quarter, driven by strong sales of brand products. Although net profit was hindered by one-off costs, the accelerating sales growth shows the strong core nature of the business.
The clothing retailer Apranga offers a 6,61% dividend yield, and the estimated ex-date is on 14. May 2026. The company is known for its stable and reliable dividend policy.
After a prolonged period of decline, Apranga's business has made a strong turn for the better. The last quarter's operating profit grew by 23,8%, driven by successful sales results in the Lithuanian and Latvian markets.
TKM Grupp also offers a 6,61% dividend yield, with an ex-date on 30. March 2026. The company recently confirmed a 0,60 EUR dividend, maintaining its long-term stable streak.
The retailer's last quarter operating profit fell by 33,6%, mainly due to car sales drying up because of the new car tax. Customers' purchasing power has also declined due to tax increases, putting pressure on the supermarket chain's revenues.
Swedbank's stock offers a 6,38% dividend yield, and its ex-date is on 25. March 2026. The bank has historically been a very solid and consistent dividend payer.
The bank's last quarter profit fell by 6,3%, as lower interest rates reduced revenues. The decline was cushioned by a one-off tax refund, but the bank's overall cost efficiency remains at a good level.
The Finnish financial company eQ offers a 6,26% dividend yield, with an ex-date on 25. March 2026. The company has shown excellent growth and a stable payment history.
After an earlier decline, eQ is back on the profit track. The last quarter's operating profit grew by 15,1%, driven by successful asset management fees and well-managed personnel costs.
Conclusion
The spring dividend season offers several strong opportunities, especially in the financial and retail sectors. Before making an investment decision, it is always worth monitoring the company's profitability trends and the approaching ex-date to maximize your portfolio's return.
