Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri (IBSE:TCELL)
Simply Wall St Dividend Rating: ★★★★★☆
Overview: Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. operates as a provider of converged telecommunication and technology services across Turkey, Belarus, the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus, and the Netherlands, with a market cap of TRY205 billion.
Operations: Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri A.S. generates revenue primarily from its Turkcell Turkey segment, which accounts for TRY148.31 billion, and its Techfin segment, contributing TRY9.29 billion.
Dividend Yield: 3.9%
Turkcell Iletisim Hizmetleri has shown a commitment to dividend payouts, with recent approval of TRY 8 billion in dividends for fiscal year 2024, distributed in two installments. The company's dividend yield is competitive within the Turkish market, and its cash payout ratio suggests dividends are well-covered by cash flows. However, Turkcell's dividend history has been volatile over the past decade.

Operations: Riyadh Cement Company's revenue from cement manufacturing is SAR825.73 million.
Dividend Yield: 7.2%
Riyadh Cement's dividend yield ranks in the top 25% of the Saudi Arabian market, supported by earnings and cash flows with payout ratios of 85.4% and 88.2%, respectively. Although dividends have increased over four years, they remain volatile and less reliable due to an unstable track record. The company trades at a good value compared to peers, with revenue growth projected at 7% annually. Recent board changes may influence future strategic decisions but are not directly related to dividend stability.
