Panora Gayrimenkul Yatirim Ortakligi has shown strong earnings growth, with a significant rise in net income for the third quarter of 2024 to TRY 154.8 million. Despite this growth, the company's dividend history is marked by volatility and unreliability over the past decade.

The dividend yield stands at an attractive 4.04%, positioning it among the top payers in Turkey's market.

Dividend Yield: 5%
Silla Ltd.'s dividends are well-supported by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 48.5% and 11.2%, respectively. Despite being profitable this year, the company has only paid dividends for five years without any increase, reflecting an unreliable dividend history. Trading significantly below its estimated fair value, Silla offers a dividend yield of 5.02%, placing it in the top quarter among Korean market payers but lacks long-term stability.

JNBY Design's dividends are well-covered by earnings and cash flows, with payout ratios of 73.4% and 42.9%, respectively. Despite a top-tier dividend yield of 8.15% in Hong Kong, its seven-year history shows volatility and unreliability in payments. Recent approval for a final dividend of HK$0.86 per share highlights ongoing shareholder returns, though significant insider selling raises caution about future stability despite trading below estimated fair value.
