Dividend Yield: 4.5%

However, its dividend history is less than ten years and has been volatile, with significant annual drops over 20%. Recent buybacks totaling KRW 9.99 billion may support future stability but don't guarantee reliability.

Operations: Philippine Seven Corporation generates revenue of ₱86.14 billion from its store operations segment.
Dividend Yield: 6.1%
Philippine Seven's dividend yield of 6.08% is below the top tier in the PH market, and its high payout ratio of 196.3% indicates dividends are not covered by earnings, though cash flows cover it at a more reasonable 69.7%. Despite earnings growth of 36.3% last year and recent revenue increases to PHP 23.07 billion, dividends have been volatile over the past decade, with unreliable payments affecting their stability for investors seeking consistent returns.
