OMV AG

OMV, based in Vienna and part state-owned, is an integrated oil, gas and chemicals group, producing energy and, through its majority stake in Borealis, ranking among the world's larger makers of plastics and base chemicals. That chemicals arm gives it a broader, more stable base than a pure oil producer. OMV has paid a dependable dividend for decades, at times topped up with a special payment in strong years, funded by solid cash flow, which earns it a high DiviScore. A generous yield defines its appeal, though earnings swing with volatile oil, gas and chemical prices.
