Dividend Yield: 3%

Haci Ömer Sabanci Holding's dividend yield of 3% ranks in the top 25% of Turkish payers, yet its dividends have been volatile and unreliable over the past decade. The current high payout ratio of 392.4% suggests dividends are not well covered by earnings, although forecasts indicate improved coverage in three years.
