As global markets continue to reach record highs, driven by positive sentiment around domestic policy and geopolitical developments, investors are keenly observing the implications of these trends on various asset classes. With indices like the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 Index hitting new peaks, dividend stocks remain an attractive option for those seeking steady income amidst market volatility. In this environment, a good dividend stock is often characterized by its ability to provide consistent payouts while maintaining financial stability even in fluctuating economic conditions.

Dividend Yield: 4.7%
Enka Insaat ve Sanayi's dividend yield of 4.69% ranks in the top 25% of Turkish market payers, supported by a low payout ratio of 30.2%, indicating coverage by earnings. However, its dividends have been unreliable and volatile over the past decade, with high cash payout ratios suggesting weak coverage by free cash flows.
