Dividend Yield: 6.5%

Nine Entertainment Holdings’ dividend yield of 6.54% is among the top 25% in Australia, but its high payout ratio (123.8%) raises concerns about sustainability. Recent earnings decline to A$110.9 million from A$181.81 million highlights financial strain, and the proposed dividend decrease to 4.5 cents per share further underscores volatility in payouts. Despite a forecasted earnings growth of 19.45%, NEC’s dividends have been unreliable over the past decade with significant fluctuations.
