Highest Dividend Yield

These are the highest dividend-yielding stocks on the Pakistan Stock Exchange, ranked from the top down. Dividend yield is the trailing twelve-month cash dividend per share divided by the current price, so it moves every session even when the payout itself does not — which is the first thing to watch. A very high yield is a question, not an answer: it often reflects a price that has fallen hard, or a special dividend that will not repeat, rather than a sustainably generous payout. Before buying for income, confirm that earnings and cash flow comfortably cover the dividend, look at the payout record over several years on the stock page, and remember that Pakistan withholds tax on dividends at a rate that depends on your filer status, so the cash reaching you is lower than the headline figure.
