Dividend Yield: 9.5%

Kina Securities offers a compelling dividend yield at 9.54%, placing it in the top 25% of Australian dividend payers. Despite this, the company's dividends have been unreliable and volatile over its nine-year history.

However, concerns include high levels of bad loans (7.9%) and recent shareholder dilution.
