Bahnhof AB's recent earnings report shows strong revenue growth, with Q2 sales at SEK 500.88 million and a net income of SEK 53.71 million. Despite reliable and stable dividend payments over the past decade, the current payout ratio (94.4%) indicates dividends are not well covered by earnings, raising sustainability concerns.
