Operations: Dear Life Co., Ltd. generates its revenue through various segments within the real estate industry in Japan.

Dividend Yield: 6.2%

Dear Life Ltd.'s dividend yield of 6.18% is among the top in Japan, but its sustainability is questionable due to a lack of free cash flow coverage. Despite a low payout ratio of 48.6%, dividends have been unreliable and volatile over the past decade, with significant annual drops. Recent share buybacks totaling ¥299.91 million may reflect confidence in future performance, yet profit margins have declined from last year’s 9.9% to 6.8%.
